When in Rome, A summer I'll NEVER forget. Past Review
By Liz R (Environmental Science, Marietta College) for
ISA Study Abroad in Rome, Italy
I loved living with students from all over the US. The weekend excursions were amazing! I loved my art history class where we traveled to different churches to learn about the art work. That class brought me to different sections of Rome that I wouldn't have traveled to otherwise.

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Keep an open mind about EVERYTHING. You will encounter many challenges, but I've grown as a person through my experiences. Don't be afraid to try anything once. And really get to know your roommates, they could be your friends for the rest of your life! I feel like everyone should have a study abroad experience. You learn so much about a different culture and yourself. |
