Samuel Richard Packer, Summer - One Month 2017 Participant
Being absolutely free to explore the streets of florence, talk to people, and visit cultural monuments of my own free will. When you have an entire beautiful city at your fingertips, and nothings stopping you? Well, that's one of the most magical things about studying abroad in Italy.

Summer - One Month 2017 Participant
I loved going into this not knowing anyone and coming out with several friends. I used to hate going into situations not knowing anyone but after this trip I became more confident in myself.

Christopher W Rice, Summer - Two Months 2015 Participant
The elements that I found most rewarding were my interactions with my host family and learning how to get around in Florence using the language skills that I learned in class.
