by Lydia Schmelzer ’23
This past semester, I studied abroad in Florence at an art school called SRISA. Living in Italy was such a joy and I felt so lucky to be surrounded by so much history and art in my daily life. I lived in the city center and took five classes: four humanities classes, and one Italian language class. Read more about Lydia’s experience here!
