Dan l nd iciani graduated fr om Suffo lk University al ihc cpd of
May. He has an unusua l story to tell about his Suffolk ~ pcricncc .
lndiciani took advaiitage of all that Suffolk had to offer him .
He not only s1udicd .hcrc at Suffolk , but he was also an excha nge
student in a program with the Universit y of Connecticut which took
him lO Urbino, Italy.
r . . ., Last July began lndiciani 's senior year at the University of
Urbino where he studied Renaissance An and advanced level Italian.
With the help or SAFARI, he was able to learn Italian no t only in
a classroom.atmosphere, but right in llaly itsel f, interacting wit h
native Italians.
lndiciani compared Italian universit ies to American universities
and found that " unl ike in Italy, the professors do all t he 1alk ing and
the studcnis do all the listening ."
He found the do rms to bcjust like American dorms, complete

with stoves and refrigerators. lndiciani said , " It was magical and
like being in a dream. One day you studied art and architecture in
a book andl he next fi1'Y you were actuaJly standi ng in front of it. "
Althou8h the pace of life is much slowCr in ltaJy, lndiciani found
that af1cr a month he too was becoming like the Italians and stop•
ping ro converse with the proprietors and clerks in the stores each
ti me he made a purchase. lndiciani recommends all st udents to " GO!
Don' t hesitate. SAF~ lpans arc not hard to get and they arc interest
free."
.,,,
Here at Su(folk , lndiciani was a class representative-in the Student OoV
crnmcnt Associati_pn fo r two years, a member-of the Counci l
of Presidents in his jUnior year, and a member of l.!'c Political Science
Association for three years.
He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Scicoce.
lndiciani would like to pursue a career in lntcrnation.a.1 Marketing.
