Summer 2024 Participant
My favorite part of the Creativity and Culture program was all the extracurricular activities Dr. Rose planned for us, particularly the guided tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Herculaneum, and Galleria Borghese, which were phenomenal.

Summer 2024 Participant
I would recommend to not burn yourself out the first couple weeks you’re there and realize that you can spread out all the sites you want to see and things you want to do across all 7 weeks. The first couple weeks will be very overwhelming and you’ll want to do it all right away but remember that you’re living there for over 2 months.

Summer 2023 Participant
I loved everything about this program. From the travel to the immersion with the class, this experience was not just academically enriching, but also an opportunity that taught me a lot about myself.
