Imagine living and studying in the most culturally significant western metropolis of the past two millennia. Rome is not only renowned for vestiges of its rich past, but also for its continued influence on modern art and culture, business, fashion, and cuisine. Living in central Rome puts over 2,000 years of history at your doorstep, including the Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and the Vatican. Be a part of the community, not just a tourist, living in your own Roman apartment or staying with an Italian homestay family, walking the same cobblestone paths as Michelangelo and Caravaggio, while enjoying piazzas and pizzas throughout the city.
