Take Your Legal Studies Abroad

2012 Summer Study Abroad Program in Bologna, Italy

The Summer Program at the University of Bologna is jointly sponsored by Brooklyn Law School and Loyola Law School of Los Angeles. The Program offers students an opportunity to study a variety of international and comparative topics with distinguished faculty from both American and European law schools. A special attraction of the program is its affiliation with the University of Bologna's Faculty of Law.

The program is scheduled when the University is in session and as a result American students who participate in the program will have an opportunity to interact with Italian students. The two-week program will run from May 20 - June 2, 2012, while the three-week program will run from May 20 - June 9, 2012.

  • Please note: Cost is based upon approximately $1.33 to €1 and may be different in the summer. A $400 advance deposit is required to secure hotel accomodation through the program. Non-students who accompany students will also have to pay the $400 hotel deposit. In most cases, we have negotiated a lower rate than the hotels normally charge for all the housing alternatives.

    Based upon student preferences in prior years, we have designated the Hotel Touring as the main hotel for the program. In addition, we have reserved rooms at Hotel Holiday.

    Priority for all apartments is given to students who sign up for the three-week session and by the date the application is received.

    Reservation Policy & Deadline
    Students who wish to receive our special rates, which are lower than those at hotels of comparable quality, must submit the housing application and the housing deposit of $400 by February 24, 2012. The deposit becomes non-refundable on March 23, 2012. Students will pay the remaining housing fees directly to the hotel in Italy where they stay.

    When you choose a time frame, you are responsible for the costs of the room during that period. If you arrive earlier or stay later, your student rate is not guaranteed and must be worked out by you and the hotel.
