All students spend the first week, before classes begin, establishing their living arrangements. Semester students enroll for four courses at the Sede only. Enrollment at the University offers a special opportunity to maximize intellectual and linguistic growth and is strongly encouraged. The Director will guide students toward courses most appropriate to their intellectual, linguistic, and curricular interests. By special arrangement, courses in studio art are available to qualified students.
Special permission is required.
Housing Arrangements for accommodations in Florence are made by students with the resources available to them at the Sede. The Sede furnishes a list of apartments and families where students have lived in previous years and which have been recommended favorably. Prices will vary according to the type of accommodation and the exchange rate. The School in Italy organizes two one-day excursions each semester, generally to small towns of artistic interest which are difficult to reach with regular means of transportation. In addition, an overnight excursion is normally offered each semester.
