With Rome as your classroom, you can practice for Italian classes while chatting with locals in the markets, cafes and churches.  You may prepare for your Art History exam by sketching the masterpieces of Bernini in the Piazza Navona, or by exploring the baroque architecture and frescos of St. Peter’s Basilica.

Now students can live as locals, gaining an understanding of cultural differences between Rome and the United States.
