I will graduate John Cabot University (JCU) this coming May 2017, and could not be happier with my undergrad experience. JCU is more than just a four year university, it is a tight-knit community of diverse students and staff. Due to the small class size I received incredible one on one attention from professors, which helped me... - John Cabot University View Entire Review

Study abroad is different for everyone. It forces you into difficult new situations where you can't rely on old habits. You have to think outside the box and discover who you are. But every person's experience will be different. I believe study abroad has made me a very strong person. You will be shocked how much your life can c... - California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo View Entire Review
Past Review Rome Is Amazing
Being abroad is amazing even though John Cabot really needs to get their act together. I still enjoyed the Roman life and living in Trastevere. John Cabot just needs to get better professors and be more lenient on their attendance policy if they are going to cater to abroad students. - Bentley University View Entire Review
How Americans are viewed worldwide, the history of ancient Rome and Italy and how to appreciate food and wine more. Yes it was absolutely worthwhile. - Michigan State University View Entire Review

During my second semester, since I was part of the fashion club's board, I had to organize the multicultural fashion show. It was a big event that needed the participation of musicians, cameraman, models, make up artists, and hair-stylists. Obviously, they were all JCU students who had the opportunity to put in practice their pa... - John Cabot University View Entire Review
It was amazing. I have made lots of International friends, traveled around. - University of San Diego View Entire Review
I would say that overall, my study abroad experience was worthwhile. Although if I had the choice to do it all over again, I would choose to go to a different university, this experience really was a once in a lifetime experience. The opportunity to be able to be in Italy - someplace I dreamed about going to since my first Itali... - Saint Leo University View Entire Review
Past Review Home Sweet Rome
I learned more than I ever would by just staying in Wisconsin. I learned more about myself, how independent I am and how strong I am also. I couldn't put a task off or ask someone else to figure something out for me, I had to do it myself. I was challenged on a daily basis with language and my communicative skills increased dram... - St. Norbert College View Entire Review
The most important things I learned from my experience abroad was how to be flexible, patient, and manage my time better. These are all crucial components to my future career as a health care provider, so it was more than worthwhile. - University of Hartford View Entire Review

It was nice to learn how the rest of the world lives. It also makes you enjoy the things you have at home. However, it also makes you want to bring certain aspects home with you. It was definitely worthwhile - University of Miami View Entire Review

A student studying abroad with John Cabot University: Rome - Direct Enrollment/Exchange
Absolutely worthwhile. New perspective. New culture. Rome is an incredible city and JCU does a good job making sure study abroad students get the most out of the semester. My complaints about Housing are unlikely to happen again, although they definitely made my experience worse. - The College of William and Mary View Entire Review
