Kate Jacobsen, a student in the Italian Cinema Studies Program shares her experience this past term while studying in Rome.

“I found that through the cinema studies program I was able to really dive into the Roman culture. My group’s documentary was on “Romance in Rome”. We were able to study the history of dating culture in Rome, why tourists come here for romantic vacations, and talk to many locals to learn more about this perception of love in Rome. We had to be brave and talk to many new people, and I was able to use my Italian to converse with them and ask them questions, which was hard but really exciting. My group was able to work together and use each of our unique skills to create something amazing, a little documentary that we can be proud of. This was great for my learning style because I was able to apply my knowledge of Italian culture (and language) and my creative instincts to make a final project. I am so thankful for this opportunity and everything Rome has taught me!”

Shaina Calacat, a student who participated in the LSJ early fall 2016 program, shares her favorite experiences while studying abroad.听 Shaina is returning to Seattle to finish her degree at the 蘑菇视频 before pursuing a career in law.

“My favorite memory here in Rome was getting to meet all of the amazing lawyers and seeing the Corte Di Cassazione (their Supreme Court). I’ve never seen anything so beautifully designed! It听was an honor to listen to professionals talk about their jobs in the law field听and learning how differently structured their system is from ours. I look forward to coming back with some of my own stories of experience to share as a lawyer听one day as well.听I’ll definitely miss this beautiful city and the beautiful people I got to experience it with!”听

Our current 蘑菇视频RC intern Julia Martinelli, is coming to the end of her year-long stay in Rome. After graduating from the Architecture program last Spring, Julia came to Rome to work at the 蘑菇视频RC and pursue her education in architecture as well as explore food culture in Rome. One of her projects has been to create a food blog to try and help students and visitors find the best places to eat in Rome. Food is such an important part of Italy and Rome鈥檚 culture but with hundreds of restaurants and bars in the city, it can be overwhelming picking out high quality places from tourist traps.
