Student Reviews
Università di Firenz
Exchange in Italy
🏠 Housing
Found my place through HousingAnywhere. €950/month, expensive, but 3 min walk from Piazza di San Marco. Safe, beautiful, and full of students. Worth the price for the location and peace of mind.
🚗 Getting to Campus
5 min walk to the economics building. No public transport needed. If you can, live near where your classes are, it changes everything.
✈️ Travel Life
Took the train everywhere: Naples, Rome, Cinque Terre, Amalfi Coast. It’s cheap, scenic, and you avoid the nightmare of Florence airport.
🎉 Social Life
Piazza di San Marco is where it’s at. Aperitivo culture is real, you meet tons of Italians just by sitting outside with a spritz. Not wild like Spain, but very chill and social.
📚 Classes
Took Globalization & Human Rights, and Financial Reporting. Some admin chaos but professors were chill and super passionate.

Get ready to walk a lot. But honestly? The city feels like an open-air museum. Every corner is a postcard.

Università di Firenze
Exchange in Italy
🏠 Housing
Shared a flat with 2 other students near Sant’Ambrogio, €700/month. Less touristy, more local vibe. Found it through a friend, so no agency fees.
🚗 Getting to Campus
20 mins walk. Easy city to navigate by foot or bike. Buses are okay, but unreliable at night.
✈️ Travel Life
Tuscany is underrated. Rented a car with friends and explored the countryside, vineyards, hills, unreal views. Weekend trains to Bologna and Milan were clutch.
🎉 Social Life
Not a crazy party city, but we had rooftop dinners, bar crawls, and wine nights every week. Florence is what you make it, join student groups early.
📚 Classes
Took courses in English: Math for Economics and some random Finance class. Not super hard, but you need to register fast.
🦙 Other
Never thought I’d become a wine snob, but Florence changed me.
