The city of Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance, provides unparalleled opportunities to supplement classroom study with its museums, galleries, palazzi, and churches. Florence is cosmopolitan, yet easy to navigate, so students can take advantage of the wide range of activities in the city and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. Students benefit from the relationships that New York University has developed with prominent citizens in Florence, many of whom represent families historically associated with Tuscany.
Many students participate in weekly programs such as lectures, discussion groups, film series.
These and similar activities allow NYU study abroad students to develop a deep appreciation for the people of Florence and their culture. In addition to experiencing the rich history of Florence, your studies will be augmented by class-related trips. In recent semesters, students have traveled to Milan, Rome, Pisa, and Siena.
