What our students say
I only have a single complaint about my experience as a student here—I’ll never find myself completely at home after I leave. Part of my heart with always be here in Florence. That’s the only price I’ll have to pay.
Kristen Bergkvist, Florence
The program is lovely and everyone running it and interacting with students are amazing. I enjoyed all my classes and professors. The staff were all very sweet and helpful.

Emily HallAIFS, Fall 2016
I had the most amazing experience with this program and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I will forever be thankful to have found this program. My professors were so helpful, they truly cared about wanting to help us and have the best experience possible. All the events that I participated in were very well organised and so much fun.
