It was without a doubt worthwhile. I hope I have the opportunity to return to Rome one day. I learned so much about the Italian culture and language while I was there.

I loved being able to travel everywhere and see important places and monuments. I liked the program I was in, but if I was to do it again I would want to experience another place, another culture. Katherine S - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I loved my study abroad experience. It pushed me to be on my own and show that I was ready for the real world. It made me fall even more in love with the city and see things that not every person gets to see if they do not live there. My Uncle who has been there many times now comes to me for where he should go when traveling... Maddie W - Christopher Newport University View Entire Review
Got to experience the Italy that everyone imagines in their mind. The program adviser was phenomenal. Everything considered-- price, life adjustments, etc-- choosing to do Florence through GSE was definitely one of the best decisions I have made in college.

So far, best experience of my life. I would have never had the chance to travel as much as I did if I didn't go abroad. Lena P - SUNY Purchase View Entire Review
It was an unbelievable experience. I feel a lot more aware of both American and Italian culture and not only how they differ, but how they are the same. I got to see so many things that I had learned about since I was a little kid. I also met some great people from all over the US and other students from foreign countries as wel...

My only favorite part was the traveling. Wouldn't actually "Study" abroad again. Molly W - Illinois State University View Entire Review
This experience has completed changed my perspective and outlook on life. I got the desire to travel more now and experience other cultures. I feel as if any task can be completed and the experience itself is hard to explain to others because it was an incredible and shocking experience.
