The Greatest Summer Adventure! Past Review
By Ally Gray (University of Georgia) - abroad from 05/13/2018 to 06/22/2018 with
Study Abroad Europe: Florence - Semester, Summer and Short Term Programs at Florence University of the Arts
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I met the most amazing people, traveled all over Europe, and created memories that will last a life time. I have never laughed more or had more fun than I did on this trip. My friends and I wish we could go back and do it all over again every day.
