Some of the reviews on GoAbroad.com:
“Studying abroad at JCU was one of the best things I ever chose to do. I was worried that I would struggle socially and academically, but I’ve thrived since the day I landed here in Rome. The staff at JCU is incredibly caring and the people I’ve met are unforgettable. If I could do it again, I would.”
“Going in I was super nervous, but JCU supported me and the student culture there is so unique and inviting. I met over thirty other freshmen going to my same university who have become some of my closest friends. As someone who has always been an introvert, JCU broke me out of my shell and made me so much better at socializing. Loved it.”
