I was born in England and grew up around Dorset. After finishing my A levels, I worked for just under two years in the leisure industry, first as a waiter and then a manger of a restaurant. I wanted to travel and explore. I was lucky enough to come across [John Cabot](http://www.johncabot.edu/), a diverse university with small classes located in the beating heart of Rome. After visiting many different universities, I found nothing quite like the wonder and excitement of being in Rome at John Cabot University. I now know that I can travel most of the globe by staying in different friends’ houses thanks to meeting them at JCU! I have been acquainted with the rich abundances of cultures of the university’s [unique student body.](http://www.johncabot.edu/admissions/enrollment-profile.aspx) I love the community feeling you find at JCU, you can form personal relationships with the highly qualified international [professors](http://www.johncabot.edu/about_jcu/directory/Faculty_AZ.aspx), and with the small classes you can manage to discover free flowing ideas and discussions that create the vibrant learning environment. I am privileged to be able to study at JCU and at the end of the day I walk home on cobbled streets, through architecture that’s a feast to the eyes in all directions, with the beautiful dynamic Italian culture animated [around me.](https://admissions.johncabot.edu/student-life/welcome-to-the-neighborhood-8-fun-facts-about-trastevere/) I have loved being at JCU and I am looking forward to my next couple of years here. I would advise anyone in a heartbeat to come to Rome and benefit, as I have, from John Cabot University.
