They wish to travel the world and experience life in another culture, but it seems like a far-fetched idea. For others, they have the opportunity but don't want to miss out on their college life back home, and figuring out all of the details just seems too complicated. Luckily, making the choice to [study abroad in Rome](https://www.johncabot.edu/admissions/study-abroad-rome-italy/default.aspx) at [John Cabot University](https://www.johncabot.edu/) is easy, quick, and rewarding. Spending a semester abroad at JCU means spending a semester soaking up the [history of Italy](https://admissions.johncabot.edu/academics/top-5-sites-rome-art-history-majors/) and bonding with other students from all around the United States and other parts of the globe. It means living independently, traveling around Europe, all while receiving a world-class education from excellent [professors](https://admissions.johncabot.edu/academics/make-jcu-professors/). Attending John Cabot is more than just a study abroad experience; it is a unique, global lifestyle that will give you memories to be cherished for the rest of your life. ## How Do I Apply?
