The most remarkable and memorable experience of my life...
2009 Semester Program in Sorrento

Campania region surrounding Sorrento possess an immensely important architectural heritage that extends back to the age of Homer. Within easy reach there are the Greek cities of Paestum and Cuma; the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Puteoli; the Roman villas of Oplonti and Castellamare; the Renaissance and Baroque architecture of Naples; and the traditional Mediterranean townscapes of Ravello, Amalfi, Capri, Ischia and Sorrento itself.

When we arrived we were simply strangers in a new culture. Now, four months later, we feel a part of the culture, part of everyday life of Sorrento

The innumerable cultural assets of the area promise an incomparable learning experience for the serious students of architecture. Field trips to Rome and Cairo as well as a 10 day spring break tour of Athens and the Greek islands are also planned.

Faculty and Alfred College students will travel together in January to Sorrento and, at the end of the term, students will be free to travel independently before returning to the US.

We are now accepting students from schools of architecture, as well as any students wishing to fulfill liberal arts and humanities requirements while studying and living in a truly unique learning environment.
