The program is comprised of four academic components: Architecture/Landscape Architecture; Liberal Arts and Italian Studies; Visual Arts; and International Business. Internships for credit are available each semester. With the exception of Italian language courses, all instruction is in English.
Temple Rome is housed in the Villa Caproni, a handsome building facing the Tiber River in the heart of Rome. Just north of Piazza del Popolo and within short walking distance of the lively Spanish Steps and the beautiful Borghese Gardens, the Villa Caproni is convenient to living accommodations, shops, and historical sites. Its facilities include academic classrooms equipped with "smart classroom" technology; one of Rome's largest English-language libraries; computer labs and a wireless internet system; extensive professional visual arts and architecture studios; an art gallery; student lounges; and administrative offices.

I found Temple Rome to be a very good program for enjoying and exposing oneself to a lovely city. The staff was, for the most part, very apt and able. The location of the classrooms was excellent. I did not live in a residence, but some of the students had problems with it. Overall though, Temple Rome provided students with a great starting point for being able to get the most out of Rome in a semester's worth of time. Read more

Studying at Temple Rome introduced me to a completely new world and it truly changed my life. I returned to the US searching for opportunities to stay connected to this experience. I'm now involved in helping students find equally enriching expereinces. Read more
Spent my junior year abroad with the Temple Program and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Would encourage anyone to serious consider. Read more

I felt that because so much of the program was Temple University art students (most of whom did not speak Italian); the cultural and educational aspects of the program were lacking. I was not that impressed with the quality of the professors (with the exception of Frank Dabell) although the art history classes did take advantage of on-site lectures and weekend field trips to Florence and Naples. I did not live in the dorms, but from what I hear... Read more
Rome is great - the program was average but the city more then made up for it. The program doesn't add or subtract anything from the experience. Classes were mediocre, and I was taking it pass/fail. I would recommend Rome the city, but I don't think the program tries to bring you into the culture. You live with other Americans. It wasn't a cultural exchange. There were kids on my program who played beer pong most of the time. Read more
The dean is terrible, the professors are terrible. But I did enjoy being in Rome, despite the program, which sucks. Bryn Mawr is considering discontinuing taking credits from it. Read more
Temple Rome is not very well organized. The academics are terrible and the students tend to live up to the stereotype that Americans are drunk all of the time. Housing is not near the center of the city. Read more
I would NOT recommend this program. Limited subject choice for UPenn approval, if you're coming from UPenn. The building itself is really ugly. There's not a lot of work, which lets you experience the culture. But there are better study abroad programs in Italy. Read more
