Sam's study abroad trip to Florence

I am currently studying Art at The University of Arkansas and could not love my school anymore. I have always wanted to go to Europe, but didn’t know where would be best for me. After extensive research to find the perfect fit, I found Florence University of The Arts. Being an art major I have learned about how much Florence has to offer and how much I could learn from studying there. I want focus on my studies while abroad and make sure I learn as much as I can from my professors. Studying abroad will give me so many opportunities to further my knowledge and really understand art from all over the world. I hope to completely immerse myself in the Florentine environment in my time there and not only learn more about art, but also absorb everything I can from the locals, and travel to new places that I have never been to before. To be able to do this I am going to need any help I can get to afford to go abroad. Any amount would help tremendously and I want to say thank you in advance. Being in my last two years at college I want to listen to stories from new people I have never met, see new foreign landscapes, go to school in a city that has more art than I could imagine, and I don’t think there is a better country for this all to happen for me than Italy.
