What our Rome students say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I spent 3 weeks in Rome and the campus was incredible! Small but cozy and I really liked that we used books to study instead of computers. I miss my teachers a lot, they were all very chill and really helped me learn italian! The building was very traditional Rome style and I really loved that too! Absolutely recommend, even if you’re a beginner in Italian like I was!"

The teachers are super friendly and young so you can truly create an amazing connection with them! The school in Rome is located in an amazing area! I was literally living the dream, getting out of the classes to walk 15min to the trevi fountain with an ice cream on my hand! Best experience ever! Hope to get back one day :)"
