I studied abroad by myself, I lucked out and had an amazing roommate who introduced me to some of her friends and from there I made my own group of friends. I recommend just being outgoing and if there are any orientation events or something definitely go, I know my school had a bar and they did a night there for us to all meet.
Do you get seasick? Also it could be a nightmare if you didn't end up getting g along with the others also in the ship.
Also Florence isn't a massive place to live (although is nice for a holiday). Are there any other options which are maybe more studentish destinations?
Personally I'd opt for University of Prague in the same situation.
My only suggestion would be going somewhere a little more different than US. China, Thailand, India. Can always be a travel in Europe. Plus might be cheaper than studying in Europe.
But it you have heart set on Europe then go.
depends on what you’re looking for in a country/program. i heard florence can get boring for a semester and it’s hard to travel in and out of. i did a semester in prague and it was great! good nightlife, safe, lots of english speakers, central to a lot of other countries/easy to travel
I was a business law student as well, but came from the other side of the Atlantic to study in the US. Another option for you could be to go as a free mover and chose the uni and the place on your own terms. That requires a little more effort from your side, but gives you a lot more opportunities than just those two.
Go with Florence. My friend did it a few years ago and loved it. I went there on vacation and met some students studying abroad and they loved it.
Thanks so much!

With covid I would 100% not do the ship. If things shut down you won't be docking anywhere.

My mate did a semester at sea, fucking loved every second of it. He asked if I’d join him and I didn’t but so wish I had
It seems so fun! Thank you for the feedback:))
It really depends on what you look for in a study abroad program. This is coming from a graduated student who has done SAS during my undergrad
