Semester in Rome - American University of Rome

I satisfied with everything in Rome. I liked it a lot. Especially CIS program was a way better than the Penn state or Woodbury which shared a program in the Pantheon Institute Academics: Romina was really kiind and good Living Situation: Good

For the amount of money we paid for the program I would have to say it was not worth it. Other students who were studying in Rome had better apartments with better locations and were paying comparable prices for their programs. I feel that the program did the bare minimum for housing the students and overpaid the mediocre professors. Living Situation: The "apartment" if you could call it that was so run down. There was black mold in all of the bathrooms. The apartments were like an orphanage set up. Having to share a room that small with three other girls was dreadful. There was no personal space, there was just one desk per bedroom which made doing homework a struggle. Cultural Immersion: There were some attempts like mixers with italian students but other than that I had no real reason to learn italian. Program Administration: Romolo the head of the department could care less about his students. He was never present and when he was his attitude was very poor. You can tell he is getting to the age where his tolerance for students is very low.

Living in Rome has been one of the best experiences of my life! I would recommend studying here for anyone!
