It was most certainly worthwhile. I learned how to efficiently adapt to a completely different culture and I gained experiences and memories that will be with me for the rest of my life. spartanbh - Robert Morris University View Entire Review
Living and studying in Rome along with traveling around Europe completely changed my life. To say that it was the best thing I have ever done for myself is an understatement. I learned more about life, myself, and the world in 4 months than I have throughout 16 years of attending school in America. I left Rome with a greater app...

I learned a lot about myself and it taught me how to manage my stress and be calm. But it also taught me how to appreciate being on my own more. For example, I traveled by myself to a few countries and it was so much fun and very relaxing because I got to do what I want to do. I travelled with friends and family too and that was...

I learned that time really does fly, and that TRAVEL can enhance your outlook on life. Daniel C - Saint Josephs University View Entire Review
The American University of Rome program was a close-knit community that enabled me to have relationships with my professors and classmates. It provided me with many opportunities. I learned about so many different cultures and backgrounds of people from all over the world. My favorite part about my abroad experience was having t...

While abroad I learned so much about not only the Italian culture, but about myself! It was a life changing experience. Alexandra R - University of Miami View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and being able to travel to different countries on my own by planning all of my weekend trips. It was definitely worthwhile! A student - Merrimack College View Entire Review
I learned that no matter where you are from all human beings are the same deep down. However, cultural and societal norms do play a big role in influencing behavior. Something that might seem totally normal to an American (Drinking my cappucino on a tram), might seem totally absurd to an Italian. Where as in America everythin... Billy C - LaSalle University View Entire Review
I learned so much about the world. It's so much bigger than my school, than FL, than the US. That other cultures can teach us so much more than we ever imagined. That you can make friends in just one short semester and consider them friends for the rest of your life. It was %1000 worthwhile. I grew as a student, as a friend and ...

I learned how to be independent in a different culture, amongst people who spoke a foreign language, in an unfamiliar place. I learned so much about the history and culture of Italy but also about myself. It was definitely a worthwhile experience and I would do it again a million times if I could. Meghan R - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
Learned about other cultures and being independent. it was definitely worthwhile. Julia L - University of Miami View Entire Review
AUR's professors are truly invested in their students. My classes were hands on and mainly discussion-based. The student-life office is also a great resource for anything and everything you may need. They highly encourage getting to know Rome, especially on a local level. I can honestly say that the university helped me grow as ... Michele C - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
Studying in Rome especially at The American University of Rome was the best decision I have ever made. It is such a small university which was nice, because you really got to know the other students. The faculty and staff of AUR make sure to do anything they absolutely can to make sure you have the best experience possible. I am... Trista C - Central Michigan University View Entire Review
It made me more comfortable in my abilities to be on my own. It was a worthwhile experience that I would love to do again! A student - Ashland University View Entire Review
Studying abroad was absolutely worthwhile. I matured significantly and figured out what I was passionate about. I was able to make peace with my mind (through intellectual stimulation in my classes, reading, and planning trips); body (from the yummy food, running with the AUR Running Club, playing on the AUR She-Wolves soccer te...

From my experience I above all gained confidence. Studying abroad allowed me to gain independence in setting goals and reaching them, both in academics and in my other pursuits. Kurt W - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
The experience was definitely worthwhile. It was quite the learning experience to immerse myself in a different country. It is always valuable to see how another part of the world lives. Mikaela D - University of Miami View Entire Review
The experience was definitely worthwhile. You learn a lot about yourself and you impress yourself at times with how mature you are while also having a few wow-no-clue-what-I'm-doing moments. It's entirely what you make of it. toni.forte - University of Miami View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I was able to take business classes with an international view which was cool. I met so many new people and made so many friends that I will keep in touch with. I also was able to travel to 8 countries and 14 cities, experiences and memories I will always remember. A student - Drexel University View Entire Review
I gained and learned so much! YEs definitely worthwhile. Cynthia G - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
Studying abroad is a once in a lifetime experience. Being immersed in another culture and language is something invaluable. I loved every minute of being abroad and I love all the friends I made. I will never forget the memories I made in Rome. Ariel T - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
Learning how to put yourself in another country, learning the language, and fending for yourself is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. You learn so much. It gives you the confidence to keep trying new things especially in different countries. Lizelle P - LaSalle University View Entire Review
I will now and forever have a home in another country and a foreign city that I can get around. I also learned a lot about another culture and learned life lessons about myself that I would never have learned otherwise. It was 100% worthwhile. Daniel K - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
It was absolutely a worthwhile experience I would recommend studying abroad to any body. I would especially recommend Rome, Italy because I really did feel like I was immersed in the culture of Rome. The food and history are also an extra bonus that both made my experience amazing. A student - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
I've learned to be independent and I've learned to go and do my own things. I've also learned that I need to do what makes me happy and not worry about making other's upset. It was very worthwhile, even when I had a lot of rough patches. Sarah R - Central Michigan University View Entire Review
