@hurzan_ spent her semester abroad at Università di Firenze and shared with us the 3 best and worst parts of her experience in this vibrant city!🇮🇹 3 Best: ✨ The City Itself: Florence is a city that feels like living inside an open-air museum. Every corner is filled with history, art, and culture. Whether it was strolling past the Duomo on my way to class, wandering through the Boboli Gardens, or catching breathtaking views from Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence never failed to amaze me. ✨ The People: The friendships I made during my exchange in Florence were one of the best aspects. Speaking Italian allowed me to dive deeper into the local culture and connect more easily with the Florentines. ✨ The Food: The food in Florence was absolutely unforgettable. Beyond the iconic dishes like pizza, pasta and bistecca alla Fiorentina, the quality of everyday food was outstanding. And don’t even get me started on the gelato... Strolling through the streets with a cone of gelato in hand was an experience in itself. 3 Worst: ✖️ Public Transport: The buses were often late, inconsistent, or trams completely packed, especially during tourist season. While the city itself is very walkable, which was great for getting around the center, if I needed to reach places that were farther out, the public transport was frustratingly unreliable. ✖️ Accommodation Difficulties: Finding accommodation in Florence was a nightmare, especially because I arrived during a high-demand period. The combination of the city’s popularity with both tourists and students meant that places were either extremely expensive or very difficult to secure. ✖️ Crowds of Tourists: Florence is a tourist magnet, and while this is understandable given its charm, it can become overwhelming. It sometimes felt like I was sharing the city with tourists more than experiencing it as a local. #erasmus #studyabroad #UNIFI #studentexperience

🇺🇸 Greetings from Boston! From July 14–18, our colleague Marta represented VSE at the Annual International ACAC Conference at @northeastern — VSE’s second time attending this major event that brought together over 1,500 participants, including 700+ high school counsellors and 700+ universities worldwide. Alongside partners from @studyinprague (Charles University and CVUT), VSE promoted Prague as a study destination during workshops, the Global University Fair, and the Counsellors Fair presentations — with a noticeable increase in interest from European and Latin American counsellors. 🌍✨ The visit also included campus tours of MIT and Harvard, offering valuable insight into student services and admissions practices at leading U.S. institutions. 🇺🇸🎓 #vsestudyabroad #internationalcooperation #globalpartnerships #studyinczechrepublic #businesstrip #boston
