Best time ever!
September 04, 2025by: Adrian DiLena - United StatesProgram: Semester in Florence - Florence University of the ArtsI had such an amazing time in Florence. The food there was better than any other city I visited. I also found that the people in Florence were so helpful when it came to local sports, and also helpful with the language.
Fun Times in Florence
September 04, 2025by: Lauren Olson - United StatesProgram: Semester in Florence - Florence University of the ArtsI had the time of my life in Florence with CIS. As soon as I got there, the program staff helped us get to our housing and were incredibly accommodating and kind. In my spare time, I got to travel to multiple different countries around Europe that I had never been to before, which is something I have always wanted to do. I even went bungee jumping in the Swiss Alps, which I was not expecting! While I was in Florence, I was surrounded by breath-taking architecture, incredible food, and beautiful music. I got to take part in multiple activities throughout the course of my time there that not only immersed me in Italian culture, but also helped me make friends early on. I most definitely recommend going to Florence with CIS!
Life Changing Semester
February 05, 2025by: Paige Andersen - United StatesProgram: Semester in Florence - Florence University of the Artsthis semester truly opened my eyes to how much the world has to offer. I had never been to Europe before this but it was something that I knew I always had wanted to do and I cannot express how happy I am that I did! I never thought I would be capable of doing it and it just showed me that I am capable of so much more than I think I am!

I have never been out of the country before this experience and only had one semester left to take up such an opportunity. I figured I had to take this chance, and have no regrets about choosing to study abroad in Italy. I was able to make my dreams come true and be able to see parts of Europe that I may never have gotten to see otherwise.
