Study at New York University in Florence and experience one of the most culturally significant cities in the world. Students live either on the NYU Florence estate or in an apartment or homestay in downtown Florence. Take full advantage of the city’s many historic and cultural offerings by joining faculty-led trips throughout the city and around Tuscany. 

NYU’s academic center is housed on La Pietra, a 57-acre estate situated in the low hills of Florence. The beautiful, historic estate contains five 15th-century villas where students live and learn. For example, Villa La Petra houses a museum with a collection of early Renaissance art and furnishings. Villa Ulivi has classrooms, a computer lab, a book reserve reading room, and a cafe. Villa Natalia contains staff offices, a lounge, a small gym, and a dining hall. The estate also contains open grounds and olive groves for students to relax and explore. 

Join us in the fall, spring, academic year, or summer. Please note that spring semester programs tend to fill early. Opportunities vary based on local restrictions. Visit the NYU Florence website for the most up-to-date information.
