We will have options for group travel to negotiate check-in and check-out of housing in Rome. Students will book their own airfare following arrival and departure guidelines from the study abroad office. Prices vary depending on point of departure & availability of travel points, etc. It is critical students wait to follow specific instructions carefully to follow the best itinerary for COVID quarantine & testing policies.
