Best experience of my life. Past Review
By Allie R (Design and Interactive Media, Ramapo College) for
Lorenzo de' Medici – Florence
Of course. I will never forget it. I was very homesick the first two weeks, considering leaving. I am sooo glad I didn't. Italy was the best experience of my life.
Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I loved my classes that had to do with my major. I really struggled with Italian class though. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Everything was wonderful. The only suggestion I have is to provide a map of Florence. I got lost frequently my first 2 weeks. |
