The Summer Sessions Office will take care of enrolling you in the courses you have indicated in your application. Once in Florence you will have the first 3 days of class, till Wednesday, June 20, to let me know of any changes you may want to make in your enrollment. How to call home or to receive calls If you need to make a long distance call you can go to the main post office located off Piazza Repubblica or to the Telecom office located in Via Cavour next to the Ricciardi palace. An American operator will answer and will ask you for your credit card number or you can ask to make a collect call. Of course, if you call the U.S., especially during daytime, the card will run out of money very quickly.
Light clothing is therefore advisable.
However, the evenings, especially during the last weeks of June, may be a little cool, and a light sweater or wind-breaker would be useful. Since clothing prices are rather high in Italy, the main wardrobe items should be brought from the U.S. Italian women often wear pants, though long shorts or a skirt may be more comfortable considering the heat. Italians only wear short shorts at the beach, not in the city. A pair of blue jeans and comfortable walking shoes are also very useful. You might want to bring one dressy outfit, but most of your clothes should be suitable for daily life in Florence and traveling.
