Rome Italy life as an Italian is sweet Past Review
By Josh S (Undeclared, University of Utah) for
CEA CAPA Education Abroad: Rome, Italy
I learned a lot about myself and what I am able and not able to do. I have been able to make some great friends here that I have many memories with and will never forget. I have a much greater cultural awareness now

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The workload was about average and what i anticipated. I never have too much work and I never have to little. The grading system is the same although I do not agree with the attendance policy which in turn can affect your grade. I dont think I should be docked an entire grade for missing a class. That is the only thing that I do not like. |
