Rome, the “Eternal City” is breathtaking. So much history lines
every street that you could have something to do everyday during
your semester abroad. The rest of Italy, outside of Rome, offers
picturesque landscapes and a chance to see areas that were once the
center of the modern world.

Important Forms
In addition to the obtaining a visa, our office requires that you
turn in important information like your medical forms, a waiver of
liability and photocopies of your passports. These documents
provide us with important information about you, and ensure that if
you have any problems while abroad, the Office of Global Studies in
New York will be able to help you right away. For these reasons,
deadlines are important. Handing forms in late—or failing to
hand in forms—may jeopardize your ability to participate in the

the lookout here and in your e-mail inbox for important reminders
