STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
Best trattoria to eat at is Trattoria Giorgio. It's inexpensive and you get fantastic local cuisine. While in florence, one should visit the Piazza Repubblica, Uffizi Gallery, Via Tornabuoni (best shops!) and check out a soccer game.
