Rome

Achieve - LUC Students

 COSTS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE | As a Loyola U Chicago student, we want you to know just how affordable a semester, or full year of study at the John Felice Rome Center can be.

COMPARATIVE COSTS

*The "gold" meal plan is most closely aligned with the meal plan (board) available at the JFRC.   Please check official tuition and fees at LUC.edu/bursar.

Because the JFRC is a campus of Loyola University Chicago, all your institutional awards, as well as federal (except work-study dollars) and state aid, will apply to your semester in Rome.

For more information on summer program costs, visit LUC.edu/jfrcsummer.

EXTRA EXPENSES

Consider what you already spend on groceries, dining out, entertainment and social activities in Chicago. Most of your expenses will be the same in Rome, however, here are some additional expenses to consider:

• Round-trip flight to Rome (about $1,500 in August or $1,300 in January)
• Extra travel (Most students estimate between $2,000 and $5,000 depending on their budget)

Be budget-smart and use the difference to help cover a portion of your flight or other travel expenses.

The JFRC offers two distinct summer sessions.  Session I = five weeks from May 19-June 12 and Session II = four weeks from June 30-July 27. Students may opt to participate in only one or the other, or may choose to enroll in both JFRC summer sessions, thus extending their study over a ten-week period.

The interval between the summer sessions - the week of June 23-July 1 - will afford students the opportunity for one of two optional school-sponsored study trips, either at the end of a student's session abroad (for those doing only Session I), between the sessions (for students enrolling for both Sessions I and II), or before the start of the JFRC late summer session (for those choosing only Session II).

These inter-session academic excursions will be course-based: CLST 306 Art of Ancient Greece will be taught on-site in Greece, and HIST 300 Sites of WW II in Italy will take students around battlegrounds and cemeteries of the Second World War..  In addition to the tuition for the course (3 s.h.), there will be costs for transportation, food, and lodging. These costs are yet to be determined.
