3. When is Torrey Rome?

Torrey Rome is held during Biola UniversityÕs Interterm in January. Departure for Rome is around the middle of January and we return just a few days prior to the start of the spring semester. Upon their return, students are able to move directly into their campus housing.

4. Can I deviate from the Torrey Rome flight itinerary either before or after the course?

No. Flight deviations are not allowed. Students who desire to travel to Europe before the Torrey Rome program, meeting the group in Rome, are allowed to do so but they will not be refunded any of the Torrey Rome fee. Early departure to Europe is at the studentÕs expense as is their return at the conclusion of Torrey Rome. Students studying in Oxford during the fall semester who remain in Europe, meeting the group in Rome, are expected to make their own fight arrangements from Rome to Los Angeles and are also charged the full price of the program.
