Florence is a city of momentous change but also a city that retains its ancient character and legacy. It is a city of paradox, and it is endlessly fascinating;a perfect place to study, learn and live.

The Best Thing I Ever Did.Learned how to appreciate the world around us and that the US is not the only country, nor the best. I learned to appreciate the opportunity I had because it changed who I am as a person for the better. |

Ciao BellaMy study abroad experience has been an amazing experience and one that I will never forget. I took advantage of every opportunity to travel to as many countries and experience as many different cultures as I could over these past four months. For most of us, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we will never have the tim... |

UnforgettableI gained so much from my experience abroad. I learned more about myself and my strengths and weaknesses. I learned how to concern many of my fears including heights. Finally, I learned how to adapt to another culture and learn about many various cultures in Europe. |

Unforgettable Four Months In FlorenceMy experience abroad was 100% worth it. I learned that in life you just have to go with the flow and you never know what is going to happen. Unpredictability is a good thing, and you will learn how to deal with things in the blink of an eye. Going abroad makes you gain independence and patience. You also get to see so much of th... |

Ierie Era, Oggi E (Yesterday Was, Today Is)Definitely worthwhile, I think I learned a lot about myself and a lot about how I interact with people. I also realized how much I value my own country (not in the overzealous patriot way, but in an appreciative manner). |

Fun In FlorenceI learned so much about myself through this experience. I gained so much more knowledge about other countries and felt less ignorant upon my return home. I learned how to be independent and I think it will really help me upon graduation. In terms of cultural awareness, I think this experience will be forever valuable to my futur... |

A Lifechanging ExperienceStudying abroad has helped me learn more about the world as well as myself. Being able to see and experience so many cities and countries was truly amazing, and I have realized who I am and what I want out of life. |

Florence: Yes, That Was Real Life...I learned that I can meet friends a lot easier than I thought I could. I was given a sense of independence that I've never experienced before, which made me realize that I can handle to the real world when I'm thrown into it after college. I learned a lot more Italian and realized that my time here was what I made of it-that my ... |

Florence; The Most Incredible Semester Of My Life!My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I was immersed in the Italian culture and saw past the typical stereotypes of Italians. I gained the confidence in myself and was able to become a more outgoing and assertive person. This experience truly changed my life. Being in Italy makes me want to travel all the tim... |

Florence: An Experience I Will Never ForgetMy study abroad experience has changed my life. I will never forget these four months, and I'm actually depressed thinking about leaving next week. I can't believe how many countries I've visited, how much I've seen, and how fortunate I am for being able to do so. Studying abroad is a privilege, and I have grown so much from thi... |

Florence:Most Amazing Time Of My Life.YES! |
Cara O.01/13/2012 |
Florence: Education And LifeYes, it was very worthwhile. I gained a lot of insight into myself and enjoyed living in a foreign country thoroughly. If I could study abroad again, I would probably choose a different country to learn more about another location, but I definitely want to return to Italy in the future. |

Firenze Expands Your Horizon And Immerses You In CultureStudying abroad connected me with many students my age that have similar experiences even though they are from different cultures in the USA. Once you have a group of friends that you can click with, the next step is to experience all of the city and travel together. Amongst your relationships and travels you will learn new th... |

Florence: My Second HomeYes it was so worthwhile. I would do it over 100 times. When I get a job I would love to have the opportunity to travel to Europe as many times a year as I can. I will try to focus more on international business. Studying abroad has changed my life for the better. |
