February 20, 2014

 

 If you’re struggling to figure out what to do this summer and you'd rather not just head back home and pick up another summer job, then maybe you should consider moving to Rome. No, it’s not as crazy as it sounds - John Cabot University offers two great summer sessions in its study abroad program, meaning you could live in the Eternal City while you study  in  an English language university in Italy.

Sunshine and Splendor

Italy is at its most beautiful in the summer, and Rome is no exception.  The city comes alive in the summer with people from all over the world enjoying the vibrant “Estate Romana” (Roman Summer) with hundreds of free outdoor concerts, art exhibits, and performances.Cycling the countryside, hiking the many gorgeous mountains and taking a dip in the crystal clear waters of nearby beaches are just some of the amazing perks you’ll get when you choose to study abroad in Italy.

There are also loads of great student activities available during summer sessions that will make it a breeze to meet others studying abroad. The broad range of activities includes everything from wine-tasting and cooking classes to weekend and day trips.

A Great Chance to Get Ahead

Not only will you be having the time of your life in the beautiful country of Italy, but embarking on a summer session at John Cabot University will also help you get ahead in your studies, and you could even graduate sooner. All your credits are fully transferable back to your home university, so you’ll not only get a great trip to study abroad in Rome, but you’ll be getting closer to that degree as well!
