ditchthel0gical asked: I'm so happy I found your blog! I'm leaving to study abroad in Florence on Tuesday and I am having so much trouble packing, so your post will definitely be helpful the next few days! What school did you go to in Florence?

I’m glad you found it helpful! I studied at Florence University of the Arts; it’s part of the Palazzi schools along with Apicius International School of Hospitality. You are going to have the most amazing time in Florence! It was undoubtedly the best four months of my life. You should definitely check out Bus2Alps for traveling (use the discount code RBERG to get 5% off the trip cost), and if you scroll through the archives in my posts I have listed my favorite restaurants and places to go in Florence!
