John Cabot University Welcomes Record Number of Students for Fall 2024

The John Cabot University community kicked off Fall 2024 by welcoming over 1000 new students to its urban campus in the historic center of Rome.

For the first time, new students come from all 50 US States and 57 countries. These new students join our returning students to make the total Fall 2024 enrollment about 1900, making John Cabot University one of the largest American universities in Europe.

During the week-long orientation, students participated in information sessions designed to introduce them to the University, as well as guided tours of the Eternal City. They also had the chance to register for trips and activities and sign up for clubs and organizations, community service opportunities, and athletics.

The JCU student body includes first-time freshmen, transfer students, and freshmen abroad, as well as study abroad students and gap year students.
