Rome: The Eternal City
Paris may have the Louvre and New York may have the Met, but Rome is art. Beyond the countless museums and churches that are home to world-famous paintings, frescoes, and sculptures, the city of Rome itself, its architecture, language, and food, is beauty incarnate. The city is home to 12 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the world-renowned Colosseum, which stands as one of the finest examples of ancient Roman architecture and engineering. Rome holds some of the world’s most extraordinary masterpieces, including Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and Raphael’s frescoes in the Vatican Museums.
Whether you study art, history, or even business or economics, this sort of setting can be invaluable. Just being around such beauty can have healing effects for the soul. Beyond its historic and artistic importance, Rome is a place of inspiration and discovery. It’s impossible not to take time to explore the city and its beauty, to indulge in some Italian (the food and the language), and to open yourself up to new ways of thinking that can help you grow into a more open-minded person.
Life at JCU means that there is always something new to learn, discover, and explore. Rome is a stepping stone to Europe, and to the rest of the world. Travel is a big part of life at JCU, with Student Services organizing cultural trips and activities around Rome and Italy, clubs organizing trips to European cities such as Warsaw and Budapest, and an academic calendar that allows for 3-day weekends to encourage travel and exploration.
