Sophia Pickle of Plano spends fall semester in Florence, Italy

2013 Dec 20

Sophia Pickle of Plano (75093-3531) recently returned from a three-month semester studying at Harding University in Florence, Italy (HUF).

As part of the HUF curriculum, Pickle, spent the fall 2013 semester immersed in Italian culture. Students had the opportunity to visit locations such as Pisa, Rome, Pompeii, Sicily, Siena and other historically significant areas. The group lived together in a 16th-century villa much like a typical Italian family, cultivating new relationships with fellow students.

Students in the program had a full course load available to them taught by visiting Harding professors. The professors also traveled with the students. The classes encouraged exploration and interaction among the people of Italy.
