Studying abroad in Florence was the most transformative experience of my academic life. The art history courses aren't just lectures — they happen inside the actual museums and churches we were studying.
I came for one semester and learned more about myself and about Italian culture than I could have imagined. The faculty are passionate, the city is extraordinary, and the support from the program team was outstanding.
The summer program was perfectly structured — intense enough to earn real credits, but with enough time to explore Florence and take weekend trips to Siena, Rome and Cinque Terre. Absolutely unforgettable.
