I learned a lot about myself, others and the world. It was a once in a lifetime experience being able to live like a local for almost a month while attending a local university with a local professor who was so much fun. Madeline Berglind - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review
This program has taught me what diversity really means, which to me means being open to people of different races different cultures as well as different opinions. No one way is the right way or the correct way. Yes this trip was worthwhile for me because now I pay attention more I listen and I learn.

It is the place where Dante, Brunelleschi, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli, and Galileo changed forever the way we see the world. For centuries travelers and admirers of art and culture have fallen in love with this city and the undulating countryside that surrounds it. Extraordinarily rich in history and ancient traditions, the city, with its world-famous artistic heritage, offers the student a wide spectrum of cultural experiences. The city is also known for its exceptional cuisine, characteristic restaurants, ice cream parlors, wine bars, elegant shops, artistic workshops, and traditional markets. As a thriving economic center with particular strengths in fashion, luxury goods, and tourist sectors, the city of Florence offers its inhabitants the chance to investigate aspects of the contemporary Italian world.
