While many University of Utah students settling into the fall semester have found themselves complaining about Utah’s dry heat, other students are lamenting the humidity. Logan Prete has just begun his second year in pre-architectural studies at the U and describes his current learning environment as “gorgeous, but still hot and humid.”

Prete is among a number of students obtaining credits at the U while attending the Architecture, Design, and Planning program in Volterra in the region of Tuscany, Italy. The program will last the duration of the fall semester and just a few short weeks into it, some students already want to stay as long as possible.
