The Best semester of your life starts now
Welcome to Rome
The city that you’ll be living in for the next few months, but that will stay with you for the rest of your life. We know these first days and weeks are when you find your feet in a new destination, and find your people too, and we want to make this as easy as possible for you.
We’ve got two weeks of events in Rome’s friendliest bar study abroad students – The Drunken Ship, travel giveaways, and a full semester of weekend trips for you to choose from.
Rome Study Abroad Spring 2022 Welcome Weeks begin now! We’re excited to meet you.

The Abroad Connection Ambassador program
We’re looking for influential and creative students to join the Abroad Connection ambassador team. Broadly, we’re looking for two distinct types of ambassadors.
- Sales Ambassadors
If you’re the kind of person who likes to have the best plans wherever you are, and can motivate your gang to do it with you, you could become an Abroad Connection sales ambassador.Not only will you be introducing your group to the semester’s best weekend trips around Europe, but we’ll also have the best plans for Rome.
- Creative Ambassadors
Creative Ambassadors are students with a passion for writing, blogging, photography, videography, social media – anything to do with communication, really.All you will do is share your experiences abroad with fellow students and be rewarded when they come on our trips.
Both Sales and Creative Ambassadors get free travel, VIP hookups around Europe, and some travel money too.
