Rome Quotes

 

Quotes from Past Rome Experience Participants

"I feel like a new man...matured, inspired, and exhilerated. Walsh has blessed me with the opportunity to come to Rome and I am glad I took the torch and ran with it...I have a new understanding of the world around me, of the people I want in my life, and most importantly, a new understanding of myself...and for all of this, I am eternally grateful." -Steve Weigand, Rome Experience Spring 2008

"Whether you want to shop at the most popular stores in Florence, relax on the beautiful coast in Naples, take a gondola ride through the canals in Venice, visit the peaceful and beautiful city of Assisi, see the glory of Roman architecture and art, or just sit at a cafe in Castel Gandolfo with a nice glass of wine right above beautiful Lake Albano (or you can even stop down at Giuseppe's and say "ciao" to Johnny or Rosanna and pick up some pizza pane!) - this experience is one that will change your life. I highly recommend that other students take full advantage of this great opportunity, where you can even venture into other parts of Europe at a relatively cheap price (very inexpensive flights to places such as Barcelona, Dublin, London, Paris, Prague, etc.) and get a better understanding of the world outside our borders. Pace e Salute!"  -Will O'Gorman, Rome Experience 2007 (Fall I)

"The Rome Experience has been amazing so far and I'm so glad I came. It was a great opportunity to make new friends and see the world." -Kate Carlson, Rome Experience 2007 (Fall I)

"The great thing is, while I'm reading about the contemplations of nature, and the philosophy behind beauty and aesthetics, I'm outside in a sunny courtyard staring at beautiful Roman pottery and olive trees and grape vines and cracked stones...and it is so beautiful I want to cry!" -Emily Byers, Rome Experience Spring 2008
