“Living in Rome and studying at Rome City Institute has been one of my life’s greatest adventures. The community that Rome City fosters is filled with like-minded individuals that aim to become better people each day, which has inspired me from the moment I stepped on campus. The MBA professors have been a great help in my intellectual pursuit and playing lacrosse in Europe has been an unbelievable experience.
