The Florence Study Center The Center is conveniently located in the Palazzo Michelozzi near the major cultural, historical and social attractions of this great Renaissance city, and consists of classrooms, art studios, offices, a library and a student lounge. The study center has cooperative links with a number of leading institutions including The British Institute, Palazzo Strozzi Foundation, and the University of Florence.

“This experience, in whole has become a part of me. Words don’t even begin to describe how much I’m going to miss the people that have been the foundation to my experience here, but more importantly, I’m going to miss the person I am right now and right here because I’ll never have that again.”

Special rates have also been negotiated for dinner at a number of excellent Florentine restaurants, and at some cafes for breakfast.
