Going abroad was the best thing I ever did for myself. It helped me gain confidence, introduced me to a different lifestyle, and gave me a serious appreciation for food as a social activity.

I learned so many things it is impossible to write it all here. Mainly I learned about Italian culture, and I also learned a lot of practical skills.

I was able to breathe, take a step back and look at my college decisions. I learned through different aspects of the culture, more about my self, my goals, and my own culture.

My experience was absolutely worthwhile. I had an amazing time during my year in Florence, but that was definitely partially due to what I made of it. In the Syracuse program it was easy to become lost in the other 300 American students doing almost exactly what one would find at a university here in the US. It took some work to...
