Rome Abroad Review

Going abroad was one of my best decisions I've made during college and going abroad to Rome with CEA was an even better decision. CEA was so helpful in making the transition from the United States to Italy easy. They made a stressful and hard process very unproblematic and smooth. CEA was helpful with every step of preparation including visa, housing, etc. while we were still in the US and the second we landed they had vans to bring us to our apartments and school. They had so many opportunities and events both optional and required that were so fun and so culturally enriching. They sponsored a guided tour of the city, a Vatican dome climb, weekend excursions to different places in Italy, events where you could try local foods and drinks, and much more. Rome has such a fun and amazing night life with so many things to do, but it's still so much more than that. You can feel the amount of history and culture in every cobble stone, every conversation, and every bite of carbonara. Being paired with an Italian roommate from Rome was one of the best parts of this program. My American roommates and I became such good friends with him and his knowledge and experiences made our time there that much better. He has made plans to visit us this Spring and we are all so excited because he really became one of our best friends. If I could I would go abroad again and I would do it exactly how I did it the first time!
