Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

My internship at Istituto Europeo was fantastic! I got to spend my time writing about all the exciting things to see and do in Florence for the institute's blog. It was a great opportunity to gain working experience as well as delve deeper into the Italian culture. The administration were all sincere, kind, and helpful, and I enjoyed going to my internship every day. Rinaldo, the director of the institute, was always very helpful and attentive to my needs. If I had the opportunity, I would do it again without a doubt!
