# [Student Spotlight: Demetrio Iannone, Class of 2020](https://blog.johncabot.edu/degree-seeking/student-spotlight-demetrio-iannone-class-2020)

I owe a lot to [John Cabot University](https://www.johncabot.edu/default.aspx).

First of all, it gave me the opportunity to study the subjects I am interested in with fantastic professors. In fact, when I came to Rome from an international high school in the Netherlands, I was able to appreciate the fact that John Cabot University gives its students the opportunity to combine two different majors, such as [International Affairs](https://www.johncabot.edu/international-affairs-degree/default.aspx) and [History](https://www.johncabot.edu/academics/history-degree-pre-fall-2016.aspx). By doing so, John Cabot has helped make my dream a reality of unifying these fields that I am really passionate about.

In addition, John Cabot also gave me the opportunity to follow another dream: the one of traveling. In fact, I'm writing this post from New York City through a [direct exchange program](https://www.johncabot.edu/universita-americana/studio-estero/programmi-scambio-diretto.aspx) with the New School for Social Research.

With a generous [scholarship](https://www.johncabot.edu/universita-americana/agevolazioni-economiche.aspx)and the continuous support given to me by my professors at John Cabot University, this dream has become a reality. Taking into consideration that, in the future, I want to apply to graduate school in the United States, my experience in New York City has convinced me that it is precisely here that I wish to follow my rigorous and exciting academic path. Without John Cabot University, all this would have remained simply a dream.

To all the Italian students thinking of applying to JCU: do not be intimidated by the prospect of moving from the Italian system to the American method of study. You will get a lot of support at JCU - and, anyway, all challenges lead to extraordinary results. [John Cabot University](https://www.johncabot.edu/universita-americana/default.aspx) is ready to ensure that extraordinary results can happen.
