I Cannot Imagine My Life Without Florence Or Studying Abroad!Completely worthwhile! It changed my perspective and completely tore down any barriers I had in terms of a "worldly" point of view. I realized I knew almost nothing! I now want to set out and learn as much as I can from the world around me. |

Fun In FlorenceI learned to open up more than I have before and I also learned how to adjust to living in a new place and without some of the normal things I would have at home. |

The Experience I Had In Florence, Italy Is Undescribable. I Had The Best Time Of My Life!I was able to communicate with people of a different language and I learned how to be an adult. If I wanted something to happen, I would have to make it happen. You learn how to budget your money, react in scary situation, and be flexible if your travel arrangements did not work out. |

Florence Taught Me To Be Me.It was absolutely worthwhile! It was honestly the best experience of my life, thus far! I wish I could do it over again 10 more times, and hopefully I will have the opportunity to go abroad again, now that one of my favorite things to do is travel! |

Florence, Italy: Better Than I Ever Expected...ParadiseI learned a lot about myself and the kind of goals and directions I want to go in life. I am now looking to teach abroad in either international schools or mission-oriented schools. I absolutely love learning new cultures and cannot wait to go for it. |

Florence Study Abroad: A Life Changing ExperienceBefore you go abroad, most people tell you that it is going to be a life changing experience. Although this is true, you may not realize this change until you are well into your semester abroad, or perhaps not even until you come home. During my time abroad, I did a lot of traveling throughout Italy and to many of the surroundin... |

Italy: Food Is Good.My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile, but instead of appreciating the rest of the world more it actually made me appreciate what I have at home more. I was always previously wanting to travel, travel, travel...and that's great and I do recommend that everyone travels at one point in their lives...but I realized t... |

Api Florence: An Unforgettable And Incredible ExperienceI am thankful and feel lucky that I was able to spend 4 months outside of the US. This experience has opened my eyes to the world and has allowed me to learn so much about myself. I learned more about myself in 4 months than I have in 21 years. My experience abroad forced me out of my comfort zone and forced me to challenge my... |

Api Florence Study Abroad Program Immerses You In Culture!My experience was more worthwhile that I could ever write to you. It is something I don't think it can easily be explained. Studying abroad opened my eyes and my heart. I understood the ideas and values of a different culture and gained so much more appreciation for the world outside of America. I already see myself going back t... |

Personal And Artistic Development In FlorenceAbsolutely, I am so glad I studied abroad during my sophomore year because now it will influence my work throughout the rest of my college experience. My time abroad definitely changed my view on much of Europe socially as well as politically. My academic and artistic interests were not changed but intensified, and my future p... |
