Meredith’s beautiful site in the heart of Tuscany offers students, faculty, alumnae, and friends an opportunity to experience authentic Italian life. After more than three decades of partnership with this warm and welcoming town, the Meredith community calls Sansepolcro its Italian home. Students can study abroad in Sansepolcro through semester, summer, or spring break options. Watch a video about the Meredith in Italy program.
