Travel to Italy for a gap year in the Eternal City
If you’re going to take a gap year, Rome is the ideal place to do it. Before students pursue an undergraduate degree elsewhere, John Cabot University offers them the opportunity to spend a year abroad in Rome.
Through JCU’s Gap Year program, high school graduates can experience Rome and understand what it’s like to study in a diverse, multicultural school with a high-quality American-style education.
Coronavirus: Prospective students should be aware that Italy was proactive in its response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and that the region of Lazio (where Rome is located) is one of Italy’s lesser-affected areas. Active cases in Italy have decreased significantly since mid-April. Furthermore, John Cabot University will be available and ready to help students, should they need it.
Here’s why Rome and JCU are excellent places to spend your gap year:
1. Rome is your Classroom
- Taking a gap year abroad in a city like Rome can teach you how to leave your comfort zone and experience a new country, city, and culture.
