Best summer of my life!

I signed up for this program in order to fulfill my italian language credit at school, and ended up having the best summer (and overall experience) of my life. Not only are the staff extremely accommodating (Arthur Kian could not have done a better job making sure everyone was comfortable and secure), but there has been unconditional support from almost every staff member at abbey road. The italian teacher (Angela) was phenomenal and my language skills have been stronger than they ever were from taking language at school. All of the students were friendly and I’m happy to say I made friendships that will last a lifetime. The weekend excursions were always so fun and it gave us a chance to explore the country, while also being able to call florence my home. Though there are other Abbey Road programs that offer more traveling, there is something very unique about spending (almost) a month is one central location, and feeling like a local. Despite all the freedom we were given, safety was always prioritized and my parents were constantly being updated. Overall, I could not have chosen a better program and I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is looking to spend their summers abroad.
