Learned to be self sufficient Cristina Zarhloul - University of Virginia View Entire Review
I learned how to speak the language a lot better than I expected, and I was able to use it with locals and constantly learn about the city.

Best of all however was the social aspect, while I am not u... Tyler M - University of Hartford View Entire Review

Studying abroad at ISI Florence was one of the most amazing and fulfilling experiences of my life. Living in Italy for four months was more than just learning in a foreign country.

I was able to broaden my perspectives and see new things. Megan Krynen - University of Mississippi View Entire Review
I learned that I am able to acclimate to a new place quite easily and that my future education and work life would be greatly enhanced by taking place outside of the United States. Given that I am trying to go to grad school in Norway, I would say that yes it was worthwhile. Margaret Morgenstern - Roger Williams University / RWU View Entire Review
I gained a new sense of independence that I’ve never had before. Moving across the world for four months allows you to make mistakes and learn from them, and overcome challenges of living abroad. I noticed that I became more self-aware, and even developed a clearer sense of self. I was able to meet people from all over the world...

About
Surrounded by the lush green hills of Tuscany, Florence pulses with the spirit of the Renaissance and the energy of a modern university town. For centuries it has enticed visitors with its storied gems of art, beauty, and Italian culture. Today, the brightest jewel in the crown of Tuscany burns bright, offering an exemplary opportunity to study, marvel, and explore.
Students at the International Studies Institute—ISI—make full use of Florence as a living laboratory during their semester, summer, or academic year abroad. They walk the same medieval cobblestones as Dante, gaze upon the stunning masterpieces of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, and practice their Italian in the shadow of Brunelleschi’s dome.
