Student Life
In order to have a well-rounded study abroad experience, students are able to add various activities to the academic portion of the program. Whether you are looking for something to help you relieve stress, take a break or simply have fun with your friends, both old and new, there are endless possibilities for extra-curricular activities within Florence.
Along with pointing you in the right direction to find what you are looking for, we also offer a lot of opportunities for students right here at the ACCENT Center.
