Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living in a flat was largely the only possibility, but I recommend sharing with Italians for language purposes.

Personal comments
Help offered through the CTS organisation. I took up their offer, but the Erasmus flat was expensive (€460, bills aside), brown and although central for town, a 45 minute tram journey from the university. I therefore moved to cheaper, nearer accommodation with Italians using www.affittistudenti.it. for €360 all bills included. I had large, single rooms, but communal facilities in both were mediocre and (to my surprise) had an 86 year old live in landlady at the second flat. No one lived ideally, but I didn't see anything that was uningabitable. It's very difficult to find somewhere near LUISS with Italians at a good price. NB Electricity is very expensive & most boilers are electric.

Final comments
Italy is a great country with great people to meet. It's a nice place to go one year to study, because it's really different from my country and I think it's good to know different things than those which we are used to

Use the LUISS Mensa. Avoid Italian banks. Shop at TODIS. Choose Wind. Drink at La Cuccagna.
