We can’t imagine our lives without studying abroad in Rome. It was the best four months of our lives that we will always remember. The memories, adventures, the people, and the food is what we miss every day. Without studying abroad, I don’t think I would have met the most amazing genuine people in my life. Tori and I met through our study abroad program and til this day we still keep in contact. We decided to collaborate on this piece to bring you 20 Reasons Why We Are Thankful for Rome.
