-Standard of living is high. Rent is high (single rooms going at 500euro), and restaurants can be expensive... but, it's manageable. It's just like any other major city in the USA (where are you from?) Cook your own food, don't party too much, don't buy too much, and you'll be fine. Oh yea, the wine is SUPER cheap!
-Tolerance... I would say is okay. I'm assuming you are of a 'minority' group? If you are, you should DEF go because I didn't see alot of minorities from the States, and we need to be represented! Florence is filled with ALL different nationalities from all over the world, and it's a very safe and welcoming place. Nothing to worry about. The people are great.
-Nightlife is great!! There's PLENTY of bars and clubs with different strengths/weaknesses, music, attractions, etc. (And you are VERY welcome if you're female and a foreigner!)
Don't worry.. just go! You won't regret it

yay! Let's hang out if you're in Florence this summer! And there's actually quite a few immigrants from Africa, as well as China, Albania, and Morocco.
