Study abroad in Italy at Trinity College in Rome

To learn more about the culture and people of Italy, courses use Rome as a classroom, incorporating field activities and excursions in Rome and throughout Italy.

Trinity’s Rome campus is nestled among villas and gardens atop the Aventine, one of the seven hills of Ancient Rome, overlooking the Tiber River on one side and the Circus Maximus on the other.

Why study abroad in Italy?

"I dressed, ate, and spoke like an Italian. And the people reward you for your effort in such amazing ways. You walk into a little out-of-the-way cafe, and the next thing you know you’ve been there for hours sitting with the owner talking and eating together. " - HLºÚÁÏÃŲ»´òìÈ Study Abroad Alum
