I am an alum of Calder Classics in Florence and I returned later as a chaperone. I attribute my decision to pursue a degree in Classical Civilization to the experience I had with Calder in Florence where I learned how the study of Classics isn’t just words in a textbook but can be immersive with references throughout society. The friends you make in Calder Classics programs not only share your interests but make the trip a life-long memory that you’ll talk about forever.
