Florence is a dream destination for international students. It is small enough to traverse in half an hour yet packed with more artistic treasures than almost any place on the planet. Surrounded by the Tuscan countryside and crowned by the majestic cathedral, whose colossal dome can be seen for miles around, its spectacular beauty is world renowned.
Unlike tourists, students who live here can slow down and experience how life is actually lived in its medieval streets and boisterous squares, be it by getting to know the name of their local barista or riding their bike past architectural jewels on their way to class.
Syracuse Florence staff and faculty are committed to helping students make the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime experience by curating maximum engagement with the local culture and community inside and outside the classroom.
