It was everything I could have imagined Andrew S - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was all worthwhile. I learned that I was in a bubble, and I needed to open my eyes to different cultures and new ideas. Where I live isn't all there is. I also learned to better my life and how to live happier. Maggie K - Kansas State University View Entire Review
My trip was absolutely worth while. A student View Entire Review
Most definitely. I gained a lot of independence. I gained a greater knowledge of a culture other than my own. I gained practical skills in cooking and wine tasting. I gained cultural enrichment from the city of Florence. I definitely plan to go back for an extended period of time. Kaylee W - Truman State University View Entire Review
Yes, absolutely! Chelsea H - Towson University View Entire Review
It is extremely eye opening and you learn about yourself and what your goals for the future are. I met great people, not only from the program but through all my travels! Katherine P - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I would do study abroad all over again if I could. I learned so much about Italian culture and mostly about myself. I learned to become independent and how to deal with things that are unfamiliar to me. Gabriella G - University of the Pacific View Entire Review

Although I was disappointed with Florence specifically, the experience itself was very rewarding. I would definitely choose to study abroad again, however, I would not choose to live in Florence. Angelina S - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I feel like I have become a more independent, capable adult. I truly feel like I broke out of my comfort zone and made the best of my experience. It opened my eyes to a more worldly and well-rounded view. It made me want to travel more and experience even more of the world. I am considering going to graduate school or intern...
