LIVE & STUDY IN THE HEART OF ROME

UW ROME CENTERUW.EDU/ROME

Located in a 15th century palace in the heart of the Italian capitol, the UW Rome Center is the perfect home-base for your study abroad.

Our classrooms feature ornate frescoes and spectacular views. The city will also be your classroom! Taught by UW professors, our courses include field trips and opportunities to connect with local people.

After class, it’s time to explore! Just outside our doorstep is the vibrant Piazza Campo de’ Fiori, home to an open-air market, shops and cafes. Countless famous sites are a short walk away, including the Pantheon, the Colosseum and the Vatican.

It’s the perfect place for a casual dinner with friends.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

The classes were all rolled up into one journey through the streets of Rome and delved into the history, architecture, art and poetry of the city. We writers walked everywhere with notebooks and pens in hand and put the city and how we experienced it into words as best we could. It was a creative adventure every day! - Maya Paschal, English major

Going into it, I had no idea how much it would impact me. In addition to deepening my technical, research and communications skills, the program also boosted my appre-ciation of engineering history. It’s one thing to read about engineering principles and projects in textbooks, but it’s a much more meaningful experience to visit places where you can see such activity in action, or at least the evidence of it. - Agustin Castro, Industrial Engineering major
