| Goa. How many opportunities will you have to visit a place like India with a quasi-safety net/safe haven to retreat to like the university you will be staying at and college resources to help you get started? On the other hand, Florence is VERY touristy and should you decide to visit it at a later time, you will find more resources to construct a trip than you would if you tried for Goa. Also, China and India are fast growers. It might benefit you (depending on your intended field of study/career) to have a firsthand look at where the growth will be in the world in the next few decades.
Now if it were a longer trip like a year, I would suggest Italy because you could Ryanair to different places in Europe on the weekends and experience a whole lot that way. Six weeks, however, wouldn't relaly afford you this opportunity. |
