SPECIAL PROGRAMS:
JCU complements its course offerings with two unique Summer Institutes open to all interested students. This year we’re offering:
Summer Session I: Creative Writing and Literary Translation in Rome
Summer Session II: International Communication in Rome
LOCATION: John Cabot University is located along the banks of the Tiber River in the vibrant Trastevere quarter on the grounds of the prestigious Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, where Galileo worked. A 15-minute walk takes you to the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, and Castel Sant'Angelo, the hiding place of the popes during the Guelf-Ghibelline wars of the Middle Ages. In another direction you’ll find the Pantheon, built as a Roman temple in 25 BC, and the beautiful Piazza Navona. And yet in another direction you’ll be walking through the Roman Forum to the Colesseum.
The neighborhood surrounding JCU is characterized by small cobblestone streets and outdoor cafes – the perfect place to study and meet with friends as you enjoy the historic center of Rome.
Rome comes alive in the summer with people from all over the world converging on the city to enjoy the warm summer nights and vibrant
Estate Romana (Roman Summer) with hundreds of outdoor concerts, art exhibits, and performances held throughout the city.
HOUSING: John Cabot University is happy to arrange
housing for you. You will live as the Romans do, in an authentic Roman neighborhood with its many coffee bars, restaurants,
trattorie,
gelaterie, and open-air markets.
TRAVEL OPPORTUNITIES:
JCU classes are held Monday through Thursday so there are plenty of long weekends available to explore or just relax in a Roman piazza. Rome is within easy train or plane distance to some of the most magnificent and historic cities in Europe including London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Vienna, Budapest, and Athens. Even Cairo, Istanbul, Dubai and Jerusalem are within reach.
WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT: John Cabot University faculty, staff and students are proud to be part of an American university overseas that has a unique and friendly student population of Italians, Americans, and international students that enjoy the challenges and satisfaction of contributing to a global community dedicated to tolerance, respect, and appreciation for the diversity each brings to JCU in Rome.
