Travel Information
You can choose to travel to Florence with a group of Kent State Florence students and a group flight leader. The group flight is coordinated by a local travel agent who handles all the logistics and is on-call during the students’ travel day.
Most students studying in Florence for a full semester will be required to apply for a visa. The Kent State Florence program is able to provide guidance through this process and also offers group processing for students committed to the program.
