I had a great time in Florence with CIS Abroad! The support staff was awesome, my class (Magazine Editing and Publishing I) really immersed me in local culture, the activities planned for us were so fun, and the food was so delicious. You should definitely study abroad in Florence with CIS!

Everything was well-organized, and I couldn't have asked for a more supportive and smooth experience. I highly recommend CIS Abroad to anyone looking for a fantastic study abroad program!

Maymester in Italy

With CIS Abroad, I had the smoothest experience I could have asked for! Florence was great, and I think the activities they planned for us to get to know each other and the city were really well thought out. From a cruise on the Arno, to the hike to the famous viewpoint across the river, to the yummy gelato and pizza, it was a great experience that CIS Abroad planned for us. Not to mention, the accommodation was great; it’s hard to beat rooftop pool and gym!
