Studied: Florence University of the Arts in Florence, Italy during Spring 2018
Classes Taken: Art History, Italian, Marketing Concepts, Literature & Language, Marketing Topics Course
"Studying abroad in Florence, Italy was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I went through a tremendous amount of growth in such a short period of time, leaving me feeling more confident to enter the work force. As a marketing student, it was interesting to learn about the similarities and differences in marketing techniques that are used in various countries. In my classes, we had a very hands on approach with learning, giving us real world experience while the work we did had a direct impact on the companies we worked with. I feel that the greatest thing students can take away from studying abroad is getting new perspective; on life, how business works, culture and more, giving students an advantage above those who are exposed to the same environment and stimuli for years. Studying abroad has improved my student experience tenfold and my hope is that more students consider their opportunities outside of their university."

'"Studying abroad is by far one of my favorite and most rewarding experiences as a student. Taking courses and living in another country encouraged me to grow and discover myself while gaining an immense appreciation for other cultures. This opportunity allowed me to continue my studies as a Marketing student and was the reason I have decided to minor in International Management. Studying abroad has definitely been one of the best decisions I have made in college and I would recommend it to everyone!"
