Italy: Rome Versus Florence

Submitted by Isabelle on the 2019 spring semester study abroad program in Rome, Italy…

This week I took a weekend trip to visit Florence where my friends from other schools are studying. I stayed at my friends’ apartment which was right next to the Duomo. We got amazing pizza and pasta after sightseeing. I noticed a big difference between Rome and Florence. Florence is much smaller and filled with study abroad students, while Rome is a lot larger and you see more Italians when walking down the street.
