It's the most wonderful experience I've ever had! It opened up my mind and helped me grow as a person by getting exposed to so many stuff, people and situations. Living in Rome for the past 4 months, changed the perspective I see so many aspects in life now and added to my appreciation of life. Yasmine E - The American University in Cairo View Entire Review
I had such a great experience at the American University of Rome. Rome is one of my favorite cities in the world, and I loved every single minute that I was there. I met a ton of great people who instantly became some of my best friends. There was something to do every day and I will cherish this experience for the rest of my li...

My study abroad experience has been a life changing opportunity and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity. I highly recommend a semester abroad, especially at AUR. I will look back on this time in my life 20 years from now with fond memories. I have met wonderful people from all walks of life and become much more independ...

Studying abroad was incredibly worthwhile. It opened me up to new cultures, new languages, and new friends. It helped me grow personally as well as academically. I'd recommend studying abroad to anyone. A student - LaSalle University View Entire Review
My experience abroad was definitely worthwhile. A student - University of Texas - El Paso View Entire Review
So worthwhile. I am now more independent than ever before and learned so much about myself, Italy, and all the countries I traveled to. A student - Boston College View Entire Review
I learned a new lifestyle and how to be completely independent. William B - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
Yes, coming to Rome changed my life! In fact, I will remain in Rome working at a non-governmental organization for another year. This studying abroad experience has changed my life! Alexander S - The American University of Rome View Entire Review
Being in Italy was excellent, but this was not my ideal program. My home university and host university both put me through a lot of nonsense. Being in Rome was very important to me (especially since I am studying the Renaissance), and luckily I am independent enough that I was able to accomplish most of what I set out to do d...

Being abroad is a unique experience in that never would I have been able to learn what I did in Rome. I learned to see the world through a different lens and be more tolerant of other cultures and lifestyles. I can say that it changed my life and there is not a single thing I regret of the experience. Anabella M - University of Miami View Entire Review
I became more comfortable speaking Italian, and traveling alone. The program definitely expanded my cultural awareness; for the most part I didn't experience much culture shock moving from NY to Rome, but there are some differences I had to get used to. Elizabeth e - American University View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was amazing, despite its ups and downs. I was easily able to travel from Rome and see A LOT of European big cities. I also was able to learn about italian culture and living situations, as well as political outlook. Valerie A - Boston College View Entire Review
Yes, i would do it again!!!!! I loved Rome and can't wait to go back to italy and use my Italian skills. Ashley Y - Marymount University View Entire Review
While at AUR I learned new things about myself and was able to really meet some wonderful people. Stepping out of your comfort zone is what led to a successful experience for me. Don't follow routines and be open minded. Ill never forget my time spent here. Lorenzo E - Drexel University View Entire Review
I definitely think that my experience abroad was worthwhile! I learned so much- from how to truly appreciate and immerse myself into another culture to how to speak a bit of Italian. A student - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
I learned a lot about different cultures and how to live with different kinds of people. I have gained some amazing friends and memories I will never forget. I learned how different some cultures are. It was definitely worthwhile. Jordan C - West Chester University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review
I learned a lot about independence, responsibility, and patience. You learn how to adapt to new situations both challenging and exciting in a way that is respectful and understanding of the host culture. It was one of the most worthwhile experiences I have ever had and I hope to never forget the lessons I learned. molly.bumbera - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review

everything. yes! Roberto M - SUNY - Fashion Institute of Technology View Entire Review
I learned that you will never regret the things you did do but you will regret all the things you didn't do. Take advantage of everything you can while you are there. It was SO beyond worthwhile and was the best experience of my life. Nicole G - Towson University View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile. Chelsea L - Michigan State University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about my own abilities to adapt to a culture that moves at a different speed than the United States. I loved the lively urban environment of Rome, and look forward to spending time in other cosmopolitan metropolises. Andrew C - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
I was able to travel to 7 countries while being here, including Italy. In these countries I saw all types of people and experienced all types of different cultures. My rating for this school is 5 stars because I met a lot of new people here and the environment at the school is great. Alyssa A - LIM College View Entire Review
