"My experience in Rome was unforgettable. As much as I love Fayetteville, there was something totally surreal about walking past the Vatican on my way to class every morning. For those considering studying abroad in Italy, I highly recommend it." - Patrick Dougherty, Engineering Economics in Rome, May 2018
"Studying abroad in Florence was an absolute dream. There was lots to do, but the city was small enough that I could walk to class, parks, and restaurants without having to use public transportation. My best advice would be to do good research on the program you are going with and read student reviews, and then trust the process! A lot of the things I stressed about ended up being a non-issue, and I wasted time worrying about them." - Reagan Broach, API in Florence, Italy: Lorenzo de’ Medici – The Italian International Institute, Summer 2017
