WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?

My favorite class that I took was "Fashion Goes Viral: The Art of Influencing." I study fashion at my home university, so it was really important to me to find a university abroad that would allow me to study it over there, as well. Through this course, I was able to gain insight into the fashion and public relations industry in Italy, and I'm confident that it will aid me in my future fashion career endeavors.

HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?

My dorm was nestled in between the local area and the touristy area; so, when we wanted to escape the tourists, we would wander into the local neighborhoods of Florence, like San Spirito, Sant'Ambrogio, etc. Some of the best food and experiences were in the more local and quaint neighborhoods!
