Spring break on film! 🎞️🌷 This past spring break we asked a few of our students to document their adventures, and the results are incredible! Where did you go for spring break? ✈️ #studyabroad #studyabroaditaly

Springtime in Florence is magical, but it also brings large crowds. If you’re looking for a quieter moment away from the main sights, while still in central Florence, don’t miss Giardino dell'Orticultura. 🌷🇮🇹

Did you know that studying abroad doesn’t have to break the bank? With a little research and careful planning, it’s possible to make the most of every adventure without overspending. 🇮🇹🌍 #studyabroadbudget

Living in the city center means you’re surrounded by little minimarkets, but when it’s time to stock up for the week, just hop on public transport and head to a superstore for all the essentials. Just take the Minimetrò all the way to Pian di Massiano and you’re all set

Some moments stay with you forever: first gelato after class, discovering a piazza, or meeting someone from across the world who becomes a friend. ❤️🌍 On International Study Abroad Day, we celebrate students who made Florence a home away from home and carry it after leaving 🇮🇹🫂

Ever wondered how locals shop? 🥦🍎🥕 Last Friday, students hit Sant'Ambrogio market for Stay Local weekend, buying seasonal ingredients for recipes at home. 🍽️ Fresh, tasty, affordable produce, meat, fish, dairy & pasta straight from Florentine producers!

One of the best parts of studying abroad in Italy is, of course, the food. There’s always something new to discover! But every now and then, a familiar meal can make all the difference when you’re missing home or adjusting to a new culture. 🍣🫂🍚

Come with us to the chocolate capital of Italy! 🍫 Last Friday we took our students to Perugia for a wonderful day-trip. They took part in a walking tour, explored Etruscan and Roman ruins under the city, and decorated their very own chocolate bar in a fun, hands-on workshop!

Across the river, it’s one of the most authentic parts of the city, known for artisan workshops, boutiques, and local spots. Life moves at a calmer pace here, streets feel more lived-in, and the crowds thin out compared to the rest of historic center. #studyabroad #lifeinflorence

And that's a wrap! 🌟🇮🇹 To our Fall '25 students: it has been our honor to be your home away from home for the past four months. This is not goodbye, just arrivederci! 💌 #studyabroad #isiflorence #lifeinflorence
