Study Abroad in Tuscany

Tuscany is a picturesque region in central Italy, known for its rolling hills, vineyards, and Renaissance art. It offers American college students a unique opportunity to study abroad in one of the most beautiful and culturally rich areas of Europe.

With a population of approximately 3.8 million, Tuscany offers a balance between bustling cities and peaceful countryside. Florence, the regional capital and birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, is a popular destination for students studying abroad. The city is home to world-renowned museums, including the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery, which houses Michelangelo's David sculpture. The Duomo, Florence's stunning cathedral, is also a must-see attraction.

Outside of Florence, students can explore other cities and towns in Tuscany, such as Siena, Pisa, and Lucca, each with its own unique charm and cultural offerings. The region is also known for its excellent cuisine, with dishes such as pasta, pizza, and gelato being staples of Tuscan cuisine.

Tuscany is generally a safe region for students, with low levels of crime and a welcoming local community. The region has a well-developed public transportation system, including trains and buses, making it easy for students to travel between cities and explore the region.
