Located in the heart of Tuscany, Florence clearly stands out as a cultural, historical, and academic center in Italy. It is known as the Birthplace of the Renaissance, as many Renaissance artists and authors called this city home.

A Semester in Florence
by: Ella Prial - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Florence, ItalyStudying abroad in Florence with ISA was the best decision of my life. Being able to live in a new country and learn about a completely different culture and way of life is a once in a lifetime opportunity. There is no better way to learn than being able to learn through experiences. During the semester I was abroad, I was able to travel all throughout Italy as well as to many other countries all over Europe. Because of this program, I was able to meet some of my best friends and make many amazi...
An Absolute Dream
by: Sarah Bova - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Florence, ItalyThe best 4 months of my life! Florence was a dream and I would giving anything and everything to go back. The city is filled with lots of history and offers something for everyone. The coffee, the pasta, the pizza, you name it and it was amazing. I lived in an apartment in the city and I recommend this! It was nice to be able to cook meals when wanted and to come back to a cozy place. With Florence being a smaller city, it creates a home-like feel which made my abroad experience 10x better. T...
Such an amazing experience!
by: Amelia Hamilton - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Florence, ItalyStudying abroad with ISA was so smooth and relaxing. Traveling overseas and doing school in another country is stressful to even think about planning, but ISA made it so easy and I loved this program. We not only got to get close with other students studying abroad but there were events planned for us to tour and see around the city. The classes were my favorite part and I really got to emerge myself in the culture in Florence.

When my best friend Francesca and I decided to study abroad, we knew our biggest obstacle would be getting our parents’ approval. We wanted to find a program that would give us the experience we were looking for while allowing our parents to know that we were safe. The application process was a long one but ISA made it so easy to find the right country and program.

I have a passion for travel and learning about history and culture. My passions even influenced what I chose to study in college. I have been lucky enough to travel internationally a lot with my family, but I always wanted to make it a goal of mine to study abroad and live and learn on my own.
