Our six-week summer B program offers courses in Italian language, Italian Cinema and Culture, and Roman History. In existence since 1995, this classic UF study abroad experience is open to all!
Rome, Italy is a vibrant European capitol without a big city feel. It is known for its glorious Roman ruins, countless churches, tantalizing gastronomic delights, and authentically Roman residents. Located near the Tyrrhenian coast in central Italy, Rome is well-connected to other parts of Italy and Europe via train and plane.
Excursions include trips to Tivoli, Hadrian’s Villa, and Pompei, as well as a long weekend trip to Florence and Chianti. Cultural field trips to musems and historical sites are built into the curriculum. Additionally, there is an optional weekend trip to the enchanting island of Ischia.
You will live in apartments in the historic Trastevere neighborhood. Its charming, narrow streets are truly irresistible, and are the heart of Roman summer evenings. You will be able to take part in the many events organized for the “Noantri” festival week, an annual celebration of the beauty and history of Trastevere. There will typically be 4 students per apartment (you can expect to share a room with one other person). All apartments have a phone, internet connection, wifi, television, and washing machine.
