Academic Study Abroad
The Pantheon Center
Known for its diverse regions, rich culture, and fabulous food, boot-shaped Italy possesses perhaps the most instantly identifiable physical shape of any country in the world. You can visit Roman ruins, gawk at Renaissance art, stay in tiny hill towns, ski the Alps, explore the canals of Venice, and see more churches than you can imagine. Naturally, you can indulge in the elementary pleasures of good food, improving your wardrobe, and seeking out "la dolce vita." From its beaches to its Alpine mountains, Italy vibrates with a special soul that is reflected in its people, music, and art.
Rome is located in the middle of Italy on its western coast, about 20km inland. The sense of history, art, and architecture in Rome is all-embracing, and quite simply a feast for the eyes. There is a hectic vibrancy of anarchic traffic, piazzas, fountains, and fabulous restaurants. The historic city center is quite small and most of the major sights are within a reasonable distance of the central railway station.
The Pantheon Center is located at Via del Pantheon 57, literally right next door to the ancient Pantheon temple which was built in 125 AD to all Roman gods. This is the perfect location for studying because students are placed in the middle of historic Rome with much to see and experience. Also nearby, students will find themselves surrounded by shops, museums, restaurants, theaters and monuments. 100 university students/day.
