Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
To live in a neighborhood with the rest of the community was the best thing that I could have done. I got the true experience of what it was like to live in a Roman community.

I really enjoyed the way it was set up. They put everyone in individual apartments which you shared with others attending the school. It was really nice.

Personal comments
Don't do what so many dummies do and go to the cliche American student hotspots. Find out where the Italians hang out and go there instead, so much classier than binge drinking in a piazza, and you'll have a truer experience of the local culture, not to mention will eat better! Avoid Italian men looking to pick up drunk Americans.

Why?
The apartment was great, the neighborhood was close to the school but also easy to get to the center of the city. No way I could find something similar on my own, especially living so far away.

We had a cleaning option in our apartment and the daily cleaning service was great. (They don't do your laundry and dishes)
