A home far away from home

The American University of Rome is a home away from home where one finds their true selves with little to no effort. The small community has so much more to offer beyond the roman neighborhoods, the live full and generous community. You have numerous opportunities such as internships and workshops to deepen the knowledge and interest in your course. All this in the beautiful Rome!
