Semester on the Italian Cinque Terre Riviera
by: CIS Abroad
Ciao! Ditch the dorm room and trade it for a semester on the Italian Riviera. Imagine exploring the colorful Cinque Terre, those postcard-perfect villages clinging to the cliffs. You'll be based in La Spezia, a cool coastal city that blends modern life with old-world charm. Think less textbooks and more hands-on learning at a Florence University of the Arts campus. Picture yourself hiking scenic trails, devouring amazing pasta in local trattorias, and soaking up the sun on the Mediterranean. La Spezia is the perfect launchpad for adventures – easy access to beaches, historical sites, and a vibrant Italian culture. Ready for an unforgettable semester abroad?
