Great Time but Ehh Experience with the Program

I went to Rome Italy under API study abroad. I had a great time planning my own excursions almost every weekend. I went to Barcelona and Amalfi and I had a blast. However, API was somewhat unprofessional with letting us in on their planned excursions and so some money was wasted. There was an instance that we were given a different final packet and we were not told about a day trip that we had already paid for. Most of my group ended up not going because of the lack of communication with API. Housing wasn’t even that great. We were met with a broken toilet seat, a mildew filled bathroom, etc. Studying abroad is an amazing experience but not with API Study Abroad. However, John Cabot was an amazing university to learn from and enjoyed and internalized everything I learned from this experience!
