Beautiful Roma! Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

At my university faculty has office hours however only a few of the faculty were available outside of class to help students. The grading system there seems a little more difficult.

On-site administration of your program

The dean of students was always available and helpful. They planned some great trips for students, I did the Tuscany wine tasting and loved it! Program size was decent and classes had 15-30 kids like at my home university.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Housing was expensive but it was a safe neighborhood and a nice apartment. When things stopped working they were quickly fixed.

Buy groceries and make breakfast at home. Allow yourself to eat out for dinner or lunch. Some great places to eat!!!!

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

We went wine tasting in Tuscany arranged by the host program. It was amazing!!!!!

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

You have be cautious as anywhere you are. The university has a onsite doctor available for appointments and can also send students to another doctor.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

I practiced the language within the classes, and my roomates, as well as in stores and restaurants. But many people in Rome speak English so if you do not speak Italian you can still manage.

• I liked the location, so close to everything and in Rome!
• The dean of students and resgrads, were always so caring and helpful!!!!

• Offering office hours of faculty to help students outside of class.
• Maybe coordinate housing with students schedules, morning class students live together and afternoon together as roommate issues can arise with opposite schedules.
