Museum Studies 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.

My experience studying abroad in Florence exceeded my expectations by so much. To start, Florence is the most beautiful city with the history and art everywhere you look. There is the countryside minutes from the city center that makes you feel like there is nobody within miles of you. The city always felt very safe and there were numerous of activities to do. My favorites were soccer games, trying new restaurants, and going on little hikes. Next, the CEA-CAPA staff were so helpful with getting me situated with housing, paperwork and documentation, classes, volunteer opportunities, etc. The staff would always be so invested and helpful with food, travel and culture questions and advice. I seriously could not recommend a better program or play to study abroad!
