<p>So I live in Hawaii and I was thinking of applying to a school abroad (I have already applied to several other schools which I won't hear back from until April) But I just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about John Cabot University in Rome? </p>

<p>How rigorous are the academics? Can you compare it to a school in the United States? What opportunities will it provide me with as an International Studies major? Can I get into a reputable post-graduate program in the US/Italy/UK? </p>

<p>As a personal insight to myself, I go to a rigorous private school, ACT of 32, and 3.83 UW GPA. My Italian skills are strong but not perfect. I would love to live abroad but also be challenged. I have a lot of family in Italy as well and I have been there a few times, so acclimating myself shouldn't be too hard. </p>

<p>Please let me know if you have any background on this school. Thank you :) </p>

<p>I do not, but I do know that the Italian can be a challenge, and if you have been to Italy and tried to speak to the Romans you know that the Italian that Americans of Italian descent speak is quite different from that of, say, the Florentines, who are said to speak true Italian. So I caution you to check out how many classes would be in Italian and how formal the Italian is at John Cabot.</p>
