I had a full scholarship and yet RAN FOR MY LIFE!

Avoid at any and ALL costs! Check the ranking before you make a decision! It is ridiculous to go to Rome to learn about the history of Roman art from Americans at a terribly low-rank American school in Rome, to begin with!!!! This program has a *terrible* director and is not recognized by credible organizations in the US but by one that does not care about any standard and which renews the school's accreditation based on gosh knows what. The faculty members are a bunch of bimbos, who take joy in messing with the students' grades and discrediting their efforts. I repeat: the program director is a psycho! If you like Rome, go visit Rome for as long as you want but DO NOT go there for John Cabot University. Apply for an MA in Art History at the numerous Italian schools in Italy.
