The Catholic University of America - Rome Center

The Catholic University- Rome Center was an incredible place to reside in during my study abroad experience. Jeannette, Alessia and all of the faculty members were super helpful during my time in Rome. The campus is set in a perfect location where it is private, but is still really conveniently located when wanting to head to the main spots in the city. Overall I could not have asked for a better program to attend during my time abroad.

The Rome Center is the most amazing way to experience Rome as a college student! It’s situated in a beautiful neighborhood that allows you to walk anywhere in the city easily, offers incredible classes with top notch professors, and has an amazing professional staff that takes care of you like family and cooks delicious meals everyday. Living at the Rome Center with the other students was one of the highlights of my experience, and I can not recommend it more!

The Rome center does a fantastic job educating students with a diverse set of courses that fully utilize the city. It is also a wonderful community where all the staff and professors care about the students and do everything they can to promote the well being of the campus. My top 3 favorite classes I’ve taken in college came from the Rome campus and i have too many amazing memories from my time there to count.

I studied abroad with Catholic University in 2019 in Rome and was incredibly fortunate to have lived at the Rome Center. The building is a few stories tall with the dining hall being on the second floor and classrooms and rooms above. The center itself is surrounded by an amazing garden that is very well kept, which is especially nice if you ever miss the green space from home (for US students :) ). There is also a lovely chapel, which was kept open for students to be able to go inside and pray during the day. The staff is incredibly helpful and sweet, and the center itself is very nice. You'll be glad to stay and/or study here!

The building itself is beautiful, in a fantastic location, and is well kept. The architecture capitalizes on its prime spot on the Janiculum Hill, with plenty of pleasant windows and outdoor terraces from which you can see a surprising amount of Rome as well as down the beautiful Janiculum hill itself.Students will find a little library on the lowest level of the Rome Center which provides much of the literature on which the students studying there focus, plenty of Italian dictionaries, and a clean and comfortable atmosphere.There is also a charming chapel, a cafeteria with a wall of windows, and overall beautiful outside grounds, including the driveway. The windows of the cafeteria overlook a little courtyard that I did not get to enjoy myself as it was the colder season, but it would be lovely on a warm day.Finally and most importantly, the staff and faculty are the best. The Catholic University of America only hires the best of the best, and the same goes for the Rome center. Jeanette and Alessia are very caring, the security and staff who keep the building running are very polite, and the professors are excellent.

The Rome Center helped make my experience abroad on of the most memorable and enjoyable times of my life. The staff cared about us greatly and I couldn't have imagined my time in Rome without them. They arranged school trips and made sure our school schedule was both informative and flexible enough to allow us to travel as much as possible. The care and friendliness of the staff are one of the reasons I miss my semester in Rome so much, and if I had the opportunity to go back, I most certainly would.They more than assisted us with all of the scary stuff that comes with being so far from home. In fact, I had unique issue with my extended visa which they made sure I was able to get all the help I needed to fix it. I can't thank them enough.

Studying abroad at the Rome Center was absolutely the best experience of my college career. The location of the center, along with the incredible staff made my time in Rome one that I will never forget. Alessia and Jeanette were two of the kindest people I have ever met, and I feel so lucky to have had their guidance while abroad. I found all of my classes to be exceedingly interesting, as many of them involve site visits to notable locations around the city such as the Colosseum or the Vatican. The Rome Center provided countless wonderful memories I will cherish forever.

To students studying abroad at the Rome Center, you will really enjoy living here. I loved having the Rome Center as my home to come back to after a long day of exploring the city. Alessia and Jeanette were always very supportive and answered any and all questions I had. The Center itself had everything a student would need, and I especially loved having the on-campus chapel available at any time. In my experience, the location of the Rome Center was within walking distance to almost everything in the city. You'll be glad you studied abroad here!

The Rome Center is an amazing place to live and study! Alessia, Jeannette, Ugo, and the whole staff are so welcoming and kind. The Rome Center is perfectly situated in Trastevere within a short walking distance of delicious restaurants, great bars, beautiful views of the city, and plenty of shopping. The Center's verdant garden, spacious and clean bedrooms and bathrooms, and incredible food all make it the perfect place to live while studying abroad. I can't say enough good things about my experience at the Rome Center.

The Rome Center made studying abroad in Rome a breeze! It is in the perfect location, within walking distance to the Vatican and the heart of the city. The Center has delicious, family-style meals for breakfast and dinner during the week, but is located a few minutes from some of the best restaurants and gelato shops in Rome when you want to eat out. It has multiple classrooms, a spacious chapel, a library with many books for reference, and an amazing staff who will always put a smile on your face and help you with whatever you may need.
