It was a great opportunity

I studied in Siena (1 hr distance by car from Firenze, approximately), at the Università per Stranieri. Siena its a nice, small place with cute cafes and social spots. Just the best, for me! My internship was a great opportunity for me. I developed my Italian language well and met some great people. The workplace was exactly what I needed. My colleagues were very supportive. I learnt a lot also: among many other things, I learnt about multiple different areas of crime and criminality, and all round I am pleased with my experience.

Una delle piu belle esperienze della mia vita

Translated by Go Overseas:

Now, when everything is behind me, I can perceive my whole trip to Florence trying to remain objective as much as I can. From the first day I knew that I made the right choice and that Florence will be an unforgettable experience. When I arrived I felt something else in the air from what I feel in Belgrade. The streets were full of tourists from all over the world, delicious aromas of nearby restaurants and historical monuments that were breathtaking. Then, in a few days I started attending Italian courses at IE, and I was full of positive impressions. I met many foreign friends that I will always remember, I practiced and improved Italian every day trying to say everything I would like to say in Serbian. Even I was looking forward to visiting the galleries, museums and monuments for which Florence is very famous in the world, and there is no better way to explore Italian culture than to explore it with your friends. I also want to say a few words from our professor Alessandro. Each class did everything it could to improve lessons with its grammar materials and conversation topics. All the classes were fun in his way and I must say it was nice to have him as a professor. Praise also to IE administration and director Rinaldo for being very kind throughout the course. I bring many memories of this trip and I hope we will see you at least once more. Regards!

Original Review:

Adesso, quando tutto è dietro di me, posso percepire tutto il mio viaggio a Firenze cercando di rimanere obiettivo più che posso. Dal primo giorno sapevo che ho fatto una scelta giusta e che Firenze sarà un'esperienza indimenticabile. Quando ero arrivato sentivo qualcos'altro nell'aria da quello che sento a Belgrado. Le strade erano pienissime di turisti del tutto il Mondo, profumi buonissimi di ristoranti nelle vicinanze e di monumenti storici che erano mozzafiato. Poi, tra qualche giorno ho cominciato a frequentare i corsi italiani a IE, e ero pieno di impressioni positivi. Ho conosciuto tanti amici stranieri che ricorderò per sempre, praticavo e miglioravo italiano ogni giorno cercando a dire tutto quello che vorrei dire in serbo. Anche non vedevo l'ora di visitare le gallerie, i musei e i monumenti per cui Firenze è molto famosa nel Mondo, e non c'e un modo migliore per esplorare la cultura italiana che esplorarla con i tuoi amici. Anche voglio dire qualche parola di nostro professore Alessandro. Ogni classe faceva tutto quello che poteva per migliorare i lezioni con i suoi materiali di grammatica e con i temi per la conversazione. Tutte le classi erano divertenti al suo modo e devo dire che è stato piacere avere lui come professore. Le lode anche ad amministrazione IE e dirretore Rinaldo per essere molto gentile durante tutto il corso. Porto tanti ricordi del questo viaggio e spero che ci vediamo almeno un'altra volta. Saluti!

What a trip!

Throughout this trip I not only learned multiple different things about the history of Florence but, I was taught how to live a different lifestyle. This trip came with many other small excursions that were also beneficial and fun. This trip was a life time experience and I am ever so grateful I got to be a part of it. I highly reccommend the Istituto Europeo and its program. I coulnd't reccommend them more. They provide for really complete educational and recreational experiences. It doesn't get any better than that in Florence, trust me!

Great experience

Had a good time. Really enjoyed the people involved in the program.
The course was well organised and the institute was well located, right in the centre of Florence, the 'Centro Storico'. Nothing can really beat this! The stuff was extra-careful for all of my needs and followed me from day 1 till the end of the program with care and support. Also the professor were extremely attentive to my needs as a students and tailored the difficulty of the program on my level of italian. Just great! I absolutely reccomend this.
