Testimonial:
• (Sp. 2012) Off campus private apartment with 5 other girls. Amazing location in the heart of Trastevere, which is close to campus. • Rome, Italy. I lived with two roommates from other schools in a school-run dorm/apartment • I lived in a small, one bedroom apartment in Trastevere near the Tiber campus with a degree seeking student. The apartment was kind of in a remote area and I often felt secluded from other students. The girl I lived with had her on and off days, but overall, I would not recommend her. There was a discrepancy regarding overpayment of rent. • I lived off campus in a private apartment with five other girls. Amazing location in the heart of Trastevere which was close to campus. I recommend the apartments because they are cheaper and you get to know the city better. • I lived in a private apartment owned by my university abroad with 5 girls. It was never boring and fun actually (2/14/13) • (Sp. 2012) Dorms are more expensive, and they are very strict and secure (you have to sign in all guests). • We were offered to find our own apartments in the city which is extremely hard. Most apartments were extremely expensive • I could have done university housing, which came out to be about the same price. I was paying for the apartment, and I paid the deposit and backed out. I regret my housing decision, but I may have enjoyed the dorms better because I would have met more people and may have had a better experience. But housing had its drawbacks too. • Dorms were more expensive. They were very safe and secure and had to sign in all guests. It’s called Gianricolo Residence • Most of my friends found housing options for only $600/month, about $2-$2500 a semester
Housing Costs per Semester: • (Sp. 2012) Around $8000 for the semester • Around $5000 for the semester • $5,000/ semester (2/14/13)
