Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has anything to say regarding the cost of studying abroad for one full school year in Florence, Italy. I will be there for NYU’s Liberal Core Studies Program. If you are not familiar with the program, we stay in NYU’s villas that provide breakfast and dinner, have laundry facilities, and wifi.
I’m sure that they will cover this in orientation but I wanted to hear input from you guys. Has anyone had experience studying abroad in Florence for a semester, summer, or full year? How much should I consider for my budget? My family is not wealthy by any means, NYU was a stretch for me and I am paying via student loans, but I will not be overly stingy with costs for studying and traveling in Europe. I’m currently planning to come back to the States like once or twice during the year.
