Travel Logistics

Students are strongly encouraged to travel independently of the Spring Hill College travel program. With two Bologna airports and a train station that serves as a hub for destinations across Europe, students can quickly escape for weekend adventures. A number of Fridays are free of classes to make room for three-day travel weekends. During the Bologna Orientation, a “Study Trips Planning Session” is held that clearly outlines all of the various ways in which travel costs can be kept low.

A few examples of how students manage to travel on the cheap (prices will vary from season to season):

Munich, Germany for 295 Euro ($410)
(3 nights and 3 days of sightseeing)
100 Euro airfare
25 Euro per night lodging
