2A - Friday, October 26, 2007 MONDAY: In Other Ivory Towers TUESDAY: Arbor Anecdotes WEDNESDAY: Explained- THURSDAY: Before You Were H PHALLIC FOOD When in Rome Italy: home to gondolas, the first pizza, the World Cup soccer champions and the largest num- ber of University students doing a study abroad program. The University's Office of International Programs offers six different study abroad opportunities in either Florence or Rome. U.S. professors teach all courses offered in Italy in English, with the exception of Italian language. Study Abroad Adviser Heidi Spence said the classes mimic those of the Uni- versity better than other study abroad programs. "It'sattractivetostudentsthat want to study in English but still want a taste of the host language and culture," Spence said. LSA senior Layne Scherer studied in one of the Florence programs last year through the office and enjoyed the opportunity to supplement her classes at the University with real-life experiences in Flor- ence. "In America we do get really self-centered and going abroad and opening up of different cul- tures makes people better world citizens," Scherer said. "It's importantto remember that, and it's hard to get that feelingliving in America your entire life." The classes offered include Italian language, a music pro- gram focusing on vocal pieces, classic studies and a number of rotating courses. This is because the professors in Italy change annually. Spence said this results in an opportunities for students with varying majors to study abroad. Scherer said she would sug- gest studying abroad to other undergraduates. "You can learn as much as you want in the class, but the slides and pictures don't really capture the true effects," she said. Students who live in Flor- ence through the study abroad program live in a villa owned by an Italian count. Spence said the students live in surround- ings complete with profession- ally manicured lawns and daily meals prepared by a gourmet chef. The Villa's location, 10 miles away from Florence, left some- thing to be desired by its occu- pants. Scherer said she felt separated from the city and would recommend a different program for other art history majors who want more than a taste of the products of the Ital- ian Renaissance.
