Florence travel: NYU student who ‘hated’ semester in Italy is ruthlessly mocked | Travel News | Travel
Stacia felt her semester abroad put her life in New York on hold, and that she was “wasting precious time” when she would have been taking internships and networking.
One Twitter user mocked the piece in a tweet that has been viewed over half a million times at the time of writing. Sabina Ciofu wrote: “Finding out Florence is not New York and Europeans are not Americans must have been brutal.”
Another said: “Being an exchange student is lonely and foreign countries are not as glamorous when you live in them? These revelations seem definitely worth an article.”
“I guess she failed her term abroad,” one wrote, while another remarked: “Woman will go far in her international relations career.”
One Twitter user, Jon, wrote: “Oh no, stuck in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe for a few months. Poor woman.
“I’ve always found the locals there to be warm and welcoming. We went to an Opera one night and some of the audience invited us out for a few drinks afterward, they were great.”
