Happy Throwback Thursday Pokes!
Andrew spent fall ‘25 in Florence, Italy studying with .
Here is what had to say about his abroad experience:
“Studying abroad was one of the best decisions I made during my time at OSU. It gave me the opportunity to meet incredible people, experience new cultures, and travel throughout Europe and even Africa. I traveled to 5 countries and over 7 different cities in Italy. I studied in Florence, and it was an amazing place to live. The city is very walkable and full of beautiful views, friendly people, fun activities, and some of the best food I have ever had. The nightlife in Florence is great, and there are even bars where you can watch American sporting events like football. Florence is an amazing home base for anyone considering studying abroad because it is historic, unique, and centrally located in Italy.
If you are thinking about studying abroad, I highly recommend it, especially in Florence. My biggest advice is to start the visa process as early as possible since it can take a long time. Also, travel as much as you can and be open to trying new and unique foods. Studying abroad is an experience you will never forget.”
