My experience

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.

review

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.

Amazing

I am having a wonderful and enriching experience at this Institution! I am enjoying my time playing a sport at this institution (volleyball) and I am extremely grateful to have broadened my range of friends. I now have friends from all over the world including Italy, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and different states in America. I am excited to go home and recommend this experience to all of my friends! When I get home I will also tell my family all about my experiences living abroad and I will share all the things I have learned.

My lovely experience

I was not supposed to come to Rome but I am enjoying every single thing about it. I am very happy of the major I decided to study, I am enjoying all the classes I chose even though it is my very first semester. I am making so many friends and I am enjoying all the funny things that the university suggests from the sports to the meetings or clubs. It is amazing how a new community is being built up and it is wonderful that these are the years of our lives. I am already sad that it is just three years!

Best experience ever

During my first two years in this university I’ve always felt supported and welcomed. The faculty is amazing and the offices help you out with everything!
The community created is wonderful and mixed and you will never feel excluded. People from all ove the world will expand your horizons and help you develop new skills. Clubs and extracurricular activities are always available: theatre, computer labs, photography and many other more! Some clubs at jcu help also the community around us by cleaning the environment and helping people less fortunate.
