Art & Fine Arts Study Abroad Programs in Rome, Italy

Studying Abroad was a transformative experience. As I left for Rome, I had no idea what to expect and I did not know anyone else going. Throughout the semester, I was able to build incredible friendships while exploring the best city in the world. Rome has so much to offer and has endless sights to see. Cis Abroad also made my experience so much better. Because of them, I was able to make so many more friends, and learn about the Italian culture way more. In Rome, it can be hard to dive right into the Italian culture as there are a lot of tourists. Cis helps with this by taking many cultural immersion trips inside and outside of Rome. This allows you to explore Italy and widen your perspective.

Anyone can travel to Italy and experience the beautiful food, culture, language, and intoxicating architecture. It is another experience entirely to live there for 5 months, and also have an educational experience that is culturally incomparable to anything you can find in the United States. Having Italian professors, and fellow students from over 100 different countries was something I hadn't expected going into this experience. Not only did the demographics of John Cabot teach me so much, but I also got to walking through the historic neighborhoods of Trastevere to get to class. It was an inimitable venture that imbued so much wonder and beauty into my life. John Cabot had amazing student engagement opportunities as well. I joined the volleyball team for the semester and got to play in tournaments with my new Roman peers against other Italian Universities. Additionally, I went on the school spring break ski trip to the Italian Alps. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Through my experience with GoAbroad at John Cabot University I was able to continue my degree program from my home university and continue my passion for Psychology during the day, and walk the cobblestone streets, eat carbonara, and drink aperol spritz by night. I will never forget my study abroad experience, and am eternally grateful to GoAbroad for providing it for me
