Program Reviews:
Katherin S Campbell, Summer - One Month 2016 Participant
I felt that some of the best times I had were spent exploring the city of Florence from the perspective of a local. I would go on runs, do homework in coffee shops, and shop in residential areas (instead of touristy ones) as often as possible. Another thing to keep in mind is the short amount of time you have to spend there--make sure to take advantage of every moment! A month may feel like a lot, but it went by so quickly that when the time came I was devastated that I had to leave. See the sights, interact with your environment, ask locals for advice, stay up late with your friends, get up early to watch the sunrise at Piazzale Michelangelo, but also take a step back from the chaos to reflect on the experiences you're having. You won't regret it!

Shane Thomas Reynolds, Summer - One Month 2012 Participant
My favorite part had to be living with another family and seeing how everyday life works in another culture.

Kiley Hughes, Summer - One Month 2015 Participant
I learned a lot about myself, my limits and what I can do. I encourage everyone to study abroad.
