Tyler Ruff of White Hall began a three-month semester studying at Harding University at Florence, Italy. He left Jan. 25.
As part of the HUF curriculum, Ruff, a nursing major, will spend the spring 2017 semester studying Italian culture.
“Students have the opportunity to visit locations such as Pisa, Rome, Pompeii, Sicily, Siena and other historically significant areas,” a spokesman said in a news release. “The group lives together in a 16th-century villa much like a typical Italian family, cultivating new relationships with fellow students.”
Students have a full course load available, taught by visiting Harding professors. The classes encourage exploration and interaction among the people of Italy.
