A student Loyola University Chicago

Kailee P Loyola University Chicago
"It was so worthwhile. I grew as a person and learned about myself and how to deal with being away from home. I stepped out of my shell and made new friends and experienced many things I would be too scared to do at home."
A student Loyola University Chicago
"It was the best year I could have ever asked for. Both the ups and downs made me grow and mature and become more and more independent, which was definitely a goal I had for the year. Travel has also become a completely new learning experience, one that I learned to appreciate differently. Rome in general though, taught me to liv..."
Daniela A Loyola University Chicago

Brian M Loyola University Chicago
"I loved learning about the Italian culture and being able to experience another country first hand. It was truly an eye-opening experience for me."
A student Loyola University Chicago
"I have a better view of how I want to live my life in the states. I also learned a bit more about Europe and traveling, since I have never traveled without my family or been out of the country. YES it was was completely worth while! I am trying to fit another study abroad in the Spring!"
A student Loyola University Chicago
"I learned a great deal about a culture much different than my own. It was worthwhile because I got to meet some of my more distant family members who I had never met before and I was able to see a great deal of Italy."
mike.russo.359 Loyola University Chicago
"Confidence to travel by myself, flexibility to be able to go with the flow, I learned a ton of European history. The whole trip was extremely worthwhile."
hudson.hotaling Loyola University Chicago
"Overall, this is a good, well-run program and my semester at the JFRC was a positive experience, but it wasn't exactly the experience I was after. I am a Spanish/French minor and have done summer study abroad programs in Spain and France, including home stay and classes taught in those languages, so this program seemed really sh..."
A student Loyola University Chicago
"I gained so much: the ability to speak spanish almost fluently, the courage to travel to new places where I didn't know the language, to explore, to learn about myself and other cultures, and the appreciation of life and beautiful parts of Europe and Spain. I know now that this is something I want to do for the rest of my life."
Rachel Z Loyola University Chicago
"My experience was enriching and unforgettable. I forced myself out of my comfort zone and took chances. I started saying "yes." As a result, I made some great friends and really awesome memories. "
A student Loyola University Chicago
"Italians have this joie de vivre that you will not encounter anywhere else in the world. Their enthusiasm and quality of life rivals that of Americans who can barely get off their couch and go explore their country. People have characterized Italy as being a third world country with first word dining, but the happiness and lax l..."
Pedro G Loyola University Chicago
"It was good but I got bored in Rome and wished that i had studied somewhere in Spain. I didn't really like the program but it wasn't terrible. I definitely didn't fall in love with it the way others did. "
A student Loyola University Chicago

A student Loyola University Chicago
"I learned so much about myself. Who I am, the culture I come from, and who I can be. I gained confidence and became more worldly."
A student Loyola University Chicago
"It was absolutely worthwhile! I learned how to adjust to and live according to a foreign culture. I learned how to plan and budget for my own trips. "
A student Loyola University Chicago
"Honestly, this program changed my life. I found out at the end that the people is what makes studying abroad really what it is cracked up to be. Now I have life long friends all around the country. I miss it everyday and I wish I could relive it again (which I sometimes do by reading my journal)."
MICHAEL N Loyola University Chicago
"Appreciate what you have. "
Steph N Loyola University Chicago
" I learned so much about myself and other cultures while abroad, an education you don't get in America. I can't imagine a better program, faculty, and city for a semester abroad. It was worth all the money and time and I would do it over again a million times if i could. "
Devin O Loyola University Chicago
"I learned so much about myself, about what it means to be American, about what it means to travel and engage in other cultures. I can communicate and make friends in a second language. This was the most influential semester of my life! To anyone on the fence... GO!"
