Italy
Italy is a country of majestic mountains, placid lakes, peaceful islands, and splendid cities and villages. A peninsula, Italy is surrounded by the Ligurian Sea, the Sardinian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea in the west, the Sicilian Sea and the Ionian Sea in the south and the Adriatic Sea in the east. The climate is warm and the people friendly. Broome Community College offers programs in four idyllic locations.

Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic occupies two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola. Columbus happened upon this island in December 1492 and established a small colony. When he returned a year later, the colony had been destroyed by the Taino Indians, the island’s original inhabitants. Columbus established another colony and left his borther Bartholomew in charge. This settlement grew into the capital city of Santo Domingo which is now the oldest continuously inhabited city in the Americas. During the first half of the 16th century, Santo Domingo became the hub of the Spanish commerce and culture of the New World. A good deal of this atmosphere has been preserved in the city’s 16th century Colonial Zone which is a gold mine for history buffs. In the 17th Century, the western half of the island was ceded to the French, and a slave revolt in 1804 resulted in the first black republic, Haiti. The Dominican Republic declared itself independent from Haiti in 1844, and independence day, in late February, is now the biggest holiday in the country.
