Despite only having been in Florence for six weeks, the personal growth I have experienced, travels I have taken, and friendships I have made are what many could only hope for in a lifetime. Studying abroad in Florence has given me the opportunity to make a home away from home out of a beautiful city with a limitless history and undeniably some of the most amazing food I have EVER encountered. Immersing myself in the Italian culture and interacting with the locals has only justified my love and appreciation for Florence I had anticipated prior to departure. It's hard to find words that sufficiently describe all of the opportunities I have been given through this program, but hopefully this video will speak for me.
