You did it! Congratulations on your acceptance to John Cabot University. I am delighted to warmly welcome you to our inclusive and culturally diverse community. JCU is the right place to learn, explore, and grow for the adventurous and intellectually curious student.
As an American liberal arts University in the heart of Rome with an international student body, faculty, and staff, John Cabot is a unique place combining the tradition of the U.S. university system with a truly multicultural environment.
As Director of Admissions and JCU alumna, I am constantly inspired by our students' personal and academic journeys and I have very fond memories of mine. JCU students are trailblazers and stand out in many ways, such as: starting a business before even graduating, fighting to spread awareness about sustainability and climate change, and being accepted to prestigious graduate schools.
Your decision to attend John Cabot University will indeed distinguish you and make you a global citizen, providing you with a brand-new perspective of the world. JCU will also be the place where you will create memories and forge lasting friendships by becoming a member of our worldwide alumni network.
Please make sure to review our checklist below to prepare for your road to Rome.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] if we can be on any further help.
I look forward to welcoming you to campus,

“The Admitted Students Day was the main reason I decided to attend JCU! The initial tour left me awestruck by the depth of the University and the beauty of the areas surrounding it. To add to this, the student tour guides were so welcoming and even invited me to lunch with their friend group! Every speech I heard during the later events was full of love and pride for the school and its community. It informed me on everything I needed to know, and made me feel secure in my enrollment."
