<\/a>Trinity College Rome Campus offers many opportunities to immerse yourself into the local culture. Whether it’s learning how to make fresh pasta in a cooking class or going out to dinner at the favorite local spots with your new Italian student friends, Rome will quickly begin to feel like your home away from home.<\/h5>\n

University Partners Program (UPs)<\/h3>\n

The University Partners program is designed to help our students create a strong connection with their Italian peers at different local universities in Rome. A curricular component of each Italian language course, all of our students are paired with an Italian University Partner for the semester. Together with their UPs, each student will spend 20-30 hours off campus, discovering the city and hanging out with young Italians. Activities with Ups might include sitting at a caf\u00e9 and chatting, visiting an art exhibition or opening, going to a soccer match, discovering spots where other university students hang out in Rome, discovering less touristy neighborhoods, attending events organized by student associations, going out for dinner with UPs and friends or cooking together. Past students have really enjoyed the experience, finding it to be a very effective way of meeting their Italian peers and having a more immersive experience while in Rome. The experience has also helped them to improve their language skills, broaden their knowledge of the local culture, and last but not least, make friends.<\/p>\n
