What was your favorite part of the program?
I don't even know where to begin...Most of all, the fact that the tuition for the Abroadco program included so many of the outings and extra's so that it was set up before we arrived was soooo helpful. – Shannon
My favorite part of the program was my class. I took an Italian fashion trends class which allowed me to learn about fashion from a point of view that I may never get the chance to do again. – Maggie
All of the day and weekend trips that Nikki took us on. Every single one of them was amazing, there wasn't one trip I didn't love. – Samantha
Florence, the city is perfect. It's small enough to walk everywhere and to get a sense of safety. Also the school was great. – Jacquelyn
What did you like most about your program city and country?
Florence is a beautiful city with so much to offer. I liked how everything was within walking distance or a short bus ride away. It is a great central location in Italy which makes it easy to get pretty much anywhere else in the country within about 3 hours. The art, history, and culture of Italy, specifically Florence was very interesting to me. – Jenna
I loved the food, culture (art history), and various street markets. I also enjoyed the performances on the streets. – Julia
I loved the atmosphere. I loved being around Italians. – Bradley
What I know now but wish I had known before I left
I would have packed a warmer everyday coat. I also would have packed more dressy clothes and less t-shirts because Italians dress nicer than Americans. I would have researched the other Italian cities and European countries that I wanted to travel to. – Jacquelyn
Not to pack a lot. – Connor
I would have like to know the language better before I came. – Sarah
I wish I would have used my time better there so I could have seen more places. – Katherine
What was your favorite excursion?
Cinque Terre, It was an amazing experience to go to these beautiful cities, we had time to go in the water, lay on the beach and hike the 2 hour trail between cities which offered some amazing views, I may never see again. I loved every moment of the hardest hike I've ever taken in my life. I wanted to do it again, but I didn't have enough time. – Samantha
Verona. The opera was cool and the city was nice. – Connor
My favorite one was a Chianti wine tour. I really enjoyed this, and it was something I may have not gotten around to doing if it wasn't planned for me. – Maggie
Siena, It was what I pictured Italy to be, very pretty. – Caitlin
