Italian is really essential, no to John Cabot, but to a great study abroad experience. People I knew who didn't speak Italian were frequently frustrated by things that I greatly enjoyed, such as going grocery shopping. Italians are really friendly people (to overgeneralize) so I found that, even with minimal italian (only one semester prior to going) I was able to get by because they were patient and willing to help understand.

With minimal effort, you can achieve very good grades. Just don't forget (amidst all the travelling, fun, & new experiences) to put in that minimal effort.

Final comments
For me, study abroad was about the culture, much more than the academics. I enjoyed my courses, but I enjoyed Rome a million times more. If you're seeking a serious, academic experience, look elsewhere. If you are looking to take some interesting credits, not slow down your progression through college (by missing credits), and to live in the most amazing city in the world, then I would highly recommend JCU.

Italian men can be difficult if you are a blonde woman, consider goin brunette to blend into the crowd more easily.

JCU does a great job of coordinting activities and integrating students into the city and culture. What it lacks in academics it makes up for in spades with the experience.

Great opportunities in Rome!

John Cabot University was the key that opened many doors such as: life experiences, internships and great friendships. I have been studying at JCU in Rome for two years now,
I was born and raised in Sicily but I lived in the States for a year where I finished my high school, and right after I fell in love with the American School System, right after I decided to pursue my education in an American University and that's how I found JCU, honestly I could not have wished for something better. Thanks to the Career Service Center I got an internship at the American Embassy of Rome, which is truly changing my life, especially since my biggest dream is being a diplomat. Professors are very competent and always available for any kind of problem you might have in Rome, in your life or, of course, academically. I think I'll remember most of my lectures for life because professors at JCU have something special, they are "humans" and really get you. Moreover, John Cabot is where I met people from all over the world, that truly showed me how to look at the world from different points of view, it's great to interact with people that have very different background or stories. I could not have wished to study in any other place, if not, in the heart of Rome.

I am Eleonora, a Communication student at John Cabot University. I'm from Rome but every time I enter in th JCU's buildings it's like entering in another world. There's a truly international atmosphere that is exactly what entices students to travel and study at JCU. Here, we get to know and discover new cultures and traditions. JCU abounds of extracurricular activities such as Clubs, that attract students making them an active part of the student life. Last year, I joined the Fashion Club where I had the opportunity to travel around Italy to visit and get to know the brands that have made the "Made in Italy" a business model appreciated all over the world. In short, a truly unique experience for those cannot stand still. Another experience to try here at JCU is the Athletics department. You can be part of the sports teams, compete at national and international level, always travelling in the name of sport and fun. I'm grateful to be a John Cabot student, I really couldn't have made a better choice than this.

Know that it will be a bigger culture shock to re-enter your home country after your abroad experience than when you first arrive in the foreign country. Also, meet the locals as soon as you get there, and they can provide you with priceless information.

Traveling changed my perspective of life. My personal belief is that Americans work for status and Italians work to have money to live on. The stress level of the average American would be greatly reduced if they took some pointers from the Italians.

John Cabot University was the best choice of my life. i like everything here, from friends to classes and professors, and JCU community and its clubs. I'm currently a sophomore here at JCU and i loved every semester. I was born in Milan, the i moved to Genova (Italy), and Morocco and now Rome. JCU has a really strong Career Service Center that send emails during the whole year and holds seminars and events to help you find the perfect internship or work position for you. John Cabot University is also the place where i met and i find friends that i know i will be in contact for life. One of the things that i love the most about JCU is the diverse community that we have, every day you meet people coming from different parts of the worlds and we al hace different background and cultures. 
I couldn't have made a better choice then this.
