Program Reviews:
Summer - One Month 2012 Participant
It's stressful and challenging, but if you get to take advantage of this opportunity, you are incredibly lucky. You will be in the presence of greatness with regard to the history and culture of Florence and the rest of Italy. Italy and this program will impact you, and you will be able to check items off your bucket list. My biggest advice would be to step back every once in a while during the month and just take it all in. Climb the Duomo and stop taking pictures for a second to just observe your surroundings. Go to Cinque Terre and just watch the water splash against the rocks. Go to Venice and just sit on the steps near the Grand Canal. Go to Rome, touch the Colosseum and think about the years of history in the palm of your hand. This program is amazing, and if you really appreciate it, it will do wonders for your life.

Don't limit yourself, just keep exploring!

Meeting new people and building great friendships with those people. We will forever share the bond of having spent this month together in Italy, and nothing can change that.
