Syracuse University Florence has a long-standing reputation as one of the most highly-regarded American study abroad programs in Florence in large part due to its active involvement in the local community: Internships, homestays, professional workshops, lectures, volunteering, collaboration with the University of Florence, and conversation exchanges are just some of the ways the Syracuse Florence program has integrated itself into the everyday life of the city.
