What’s a must have for U.S. universities overseas? A Florentine palace, according to a recent Times Higher Education article. Fortunately, Â鶹¾«Ñ¡has one, and students have noticed.

Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ purchased a building in the heart of Florence back in 2016, which has since been renovated extensively to make the perfect Florentine palace for Â鶹¾«Ñ¡students to study.

Since 2012, the number of Â鶹¾«Ñ¡students wanting to spend part of their degree in Florence has exploded, Fabrizio Ricciardelli, director of Kent State’s Florence Center told Times Higher Education. The university now hosts about 900 from numerous disciplines across the university.

Due to the high demand for the study abroad experience, Â鶹¾«Ñ¡has paved the way for other universities to explore resources in Florence.
