The Rome Campus offers a unique opportunity for student-athletes to join local sports clubs and leagues in Rome at appropriate levels. This one-of-a-kind partnership with local athletes and sports enthusiasts opens a window into Roman life and culture not readily available to short term residents. Opportunities include indoor soccer, field hockey, crew on the Tiber, weekend sailing at Anzio, and American baseball, softball, and football.Other Cultural Opportunities
Building bridges to the community, the Rome Campus arranges a variety of
social exchanges with Italians majoring in American Studies at nearby
Rome University. The program also organizes visits to major
institutions in Rome and students have recently visited Il Quirinale
(official presidential residence), Montecitorio (Parliament), the
Vatican Gardens, and film studios at Cinecitta. Also included are
outings to concerts, operas, plays, art exhibits, and sporting events.
Of note during one recent term was the olive harvest: A communal return to Nature,
an ancient labor of love,
and a convivial outdoor banquet
in the Roman countryside.
