Program Reviews

I am able to both learn important things in Italy, such as the history and language of the country, while having the best experience of my life thus far. I can travel, gain knowledge of Europe itself, and feel lots of support and fun from the University itself. I have learned how to use the public transportation, speak some italian in useful situations, such as in restaurants or at a bar, and learn how to be a independent traveler and student being so far away from my family and friends. I am very happy with choosing JCU.

Being in Italy has been a dream and JCU made that possible! The academics were challenging but worth it for the experience! Be aware that professors will not go easy on you just because you are studying abroad, there will be lots of work.There are many school organized events and trips making it easy to immerse yourself in the experience! Location of the school is amazing since Trastevere is a truly fun and vibrant neighborhood. The building for classes are always clean and easy to get to no matter where you’re staying.

The campus is located in trastevere and it is very close to the city. The university offers a lot of opportunities and different courses that you can choose. The professors are very friendly and able to help when you need. When you ask for help or advice they are very happy to help you. Overall my experience was very good and I was able to make new friends and to make connections with people around the world and understand different cultures. The staff is very supportive and helpful for everything that you need.

As a freshman at John Cabot University in Rome, my experience has been nothing short of transformative. From the moment I stepped onto campus, I was immersed in a vibrant international community that embraced diversity and fostered intellectual curiosity.

Beyond the classroom, JCU offers a plethora of extracurricular activities and cultural experiences that have enriched my college experience. From volunteering at local charities to participating in study abroad programs, I've had the opportunity to engage with the community and broaden my perspective on global issues.

Overall, my freshman year at JCU has been an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, learning, and growth. I am grateful for the friendships formed, the knowledge gained, and the memories created, and I look forward to continuing my academic adventure at this exceptional institution.

Super great. Really loved the experience.

Very rigorous university. Definitely be aware that you will spend a lot of your time studying. The location is fantastic though, truly in the heart of Rome. Trips and Activities staff is great! This school was difficult but a worthwhile experience overall. I recommend coming but being aware that your GPA will be affected as grading is extremely difficult. The program is full of very interesting people and worthwhile if you put yourself out there. Good country I say it’s important to travel to smaller cities around Lazio.

John Cabot was a very fun study abroad experience. It was really cool to experience Rome through the eyes of a Roman. Trastevere is the best area in Rome (I might be biased), so it was really cool having it as our home base. The teachers were lovely and the students were amazing!! I found myself very much at home in Rome. The food was also amazing. Being in Rome it is very easy to travel to other destinations, I saw the majority of Italy and many other places in Europe. Overall it was an amazing experience and I learned a ton!

I love the campuses, the places where we get to study and the climate we get to do that in.

It has always been a dream to come here and know it’s everything that I’ve expected. However I would check the experience or english level of professors beforehand since some of them speak really bad english and it’s almost impossible to understand them. Also it’s better to hire more professors as the slot hours are really limited and choosing one slot that works is overwhelming. Overall I would grade the university a 8/10.

I have had an excellent semester abroad at JOHN CABOT in Rome because there I met whole banch of new people which was fun talking to them for me. Beside academic experience I havd had always the privilege of meeting new people from across the world. For example, students from the US, Italy, and France. Beside having an extremely fun semester I was able to travel and explore whole bunch of new places around Europe. I traveled to Norway, Sweden, and Spain. I just loved this experience which was full of memories.
