Florence

Student Profile - Jose Bianchi
"Being in Florence was probably the best academic decision I could’ve made for my language skills -- from translating daily dinners with my roommate and host family to the Italian classes held at the Stanford in Florence campus, I learned more about Italian language and culture in 10 weeks than in 30 weeks at Stanford, and bringing that knowledge back home helped solidify my capabilities in a way I never thought possible."

Student Profile - Ruthie Lewis
"My most valuable item that I brought was actually the travel journal that my little gave to me before I left because I was able to write all down all of my thoughts and feelings about all of the memories that I was making throughout the trip and I know that I'll really appreciate having them stored when I look back at it in the future."

The Florence Program strives to turn the students into academic travelers (not passing tourists) who will leave the city having mastered first-hand a culture (the Renaissance) at the core of the historical and artistic development of the Western world, and having developed a deep fluency on Italy, the European Union and the Mediterranean today.
