Florence
Exciting New Opportunity!
As of Fall 2025, an exciting new exchange agreement between Stanford in Florence and the University of Florence (UniFi) will enable Stanford students to take classes (in English or in Italian) at the local university, and Italian students to join our classrooms.
The Breyer Center for Overseas Studies in Florence has been offering transformative experiences for Stanford undergraduates since 1960. The Program focuses on total academic and cultural immersion and strives to give students a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary core that pivots on the Renaissance, the European Union, the Mediterranean, and Italian language, history, and its vibrant, contemporary culture. With a maximum enrollment of 45 students per quarter students benefit from an intimate learning environment in a bustling international city. Florence participants are housed as a cohort in a student residence (TSH) conveniently located in the historical city center.

To capture this reflection photo of Lago di Braies of the Italian Dolomites, we set out early in the morning at 5am. We enjoyed the tranquil morning hours watching as the sun slowly peaked over the mountains in the backdrop. Soon, the wind picked up and the perfect reflection broke, and we embarked on a new adventure: rowing one of the wooden boats onto the lake.
