Accommodations
In Rome students live with other CSB+SJU students in apartments located in the heart of residential neighborhoods. Students have an opportunity to experience life in a major urban setting. Small groups of CSB+SJU students share living, cooking, and sleeping quarters in this metropolis. Students are responsible for preparing their own meals while in Rome.
Program Dates
The approximate program dates for the Rome, Italy program are late-August to early-December.
Financial Considerations
During a semester abroad, CSB+SJU students pay the same tuition as if on campus. Instead of paying for a CSB+SJU Housing and Meal Plan, all students studying abroad pay an Education Abroad Fee. Find program fee cost information on the CSBSJU-Global Portal.
Students should plan early for a successful study abroad experience. Financial aid and scholarships may be available to help with the program costs, but must be searched out well in advance.
