This term over 850 students are attending JCU - the largest number in school history.
Students from across the USA, Italy, and many countries around the world, were welcomed at Fiumicino Airport by JCU staff. After being transferred to JCU, students received housing assignments and were accompanied to their accommodations by Student Ambassadors.
During Orientation Week, students became acquainted with both the University and the Eternal City, and received an introduction to Italian culture. In addition to walking tours of JCU's Trastevere neighborhood, students had the opportunity to take the Fountains of Rome and Ancient Rome tours.
Students mingled mingle with fellow classmates at special "Meet and Greet" events and received advice on how to enjoy the city while staying safe.
In order to enhance students' experience, the Student Services staff has prepared a wide variety of activities that will take place throughout the term. These include Italian cooking classes, discounted tickets to the opera and other performances in Rome, and guided excursions to points of interest outside of the city.
