Finance Internships in Florence

Florence was absolutely incredible. From beautiful art to exciting lively parades, there is a range of different activities for every kind of person. The academics were also very interesting. I took a Museuology course and an Archaeology course while I was there and it was some of the most fun I've had in classes. I got to go to museums and learn about them and got to handle real Etruscan artifacts and try to construct them back together. The courses are relatively smaller but for me I was able to build a tighter-knit relationship with my peers and professors so I greatly appreciated that opportunity. API is also a wonderful program host to go through as they not only set you up with different options of where to stay but they also are ready to support you every step of the way leading up to and during your study abroad experience. I had a moment abroad where I had to deal with feeling very ill and I was in need of some help. API connected me with an excellent doctor abroad and were very supportive in my search for help. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome - especially being abroad. On top of this, they also organize different excursions for students to go on. We got to go to Venice and Rome through API and it was incredible. They organized tours, time for us to go explore, and our transport and stay. It was absolutely wonderful to not have to stress the details of traveling while already being abroad. API was absolutely the program for me.

For someone who has never been out of the US, I was definitely nervous but at the same time so excited to be going to Italy and living in a foreign country by myself. The AIP team helped me with all the process, from finding me an internship in a company in Italy, to giving me visa advice, and was always there for me through text whenever I needed help or had any concerns when I was in Italy. The internship itself was a great experience. I made new friends, I was placed in a company that basically taught me so many new skills and knowledge that I could use continuing my degree and for my future job. And of course overall Italy, is beautiful! Italy has definitely been one of the countries in my bucket list to visit so the fact that I got the chance to travel and experience Italy while doing an internship, it was amazing and I highly recommend everyone to get out of your comfort zone and start your career journey with AIP!
