Testaccio is a great place to really mesh with Italian nightlife. Go to the museums, the historical sites, travel anywhere your interested. It isn't difficult to find some cheap air flights. If you can be there for Notte Bianche, do it! Expect huge crowds though.
Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
I enjoy the freedom of the apartment, just not the one the University deemed decent.

Commentaire personnel
Being a loan student, my loan came late, so the school shifted my housing arrangement to whatever they had left, even though we had discussed the issue. Also, the Housing Coordinator has no sympathy or understanding of how to help with housing issues. The location was great, and although highly recommended by the scool, many students and parents were outraged at the conditions of the "historic" options.
School housing was overpriced, the nightlife and the travel are going to cost you and I generally don't indulge in these at home. There is a great cell service available that will cost a lot less than you'd imagine if you can restrict yourself.

No suprises, except that if you cannot pay right away, expect to be treated like a second class citizen. Even then, they could care less. Dial up internet was eventually installed in the homes, it was helpful but not the best service. Many cafes do offer free wifi, just grab some coffee and settle in. I would recommend Friends Cafe in Piazza Trilussa.
Try to get an AA before heading to the school. The basic courses aren't worth the time. Many of the teachers are pretty arrogant. One was teaching for only a semester before he left there. The italian classes, however, are impeccable.

Assign papers, projects, anything that actually requires a student to think. Make sure that the department heads and the teachers are on the same page, so that the class isn't arranged around a book that wasn't ordered and had to be found online or imported from US. Also the book store is a complete joke.
That AUR is not very well organized and they do not like to deal with strong willed students. If you have an opinion, they do not care. Also, there are many cliques, the study abroads stay together, the international students stick together, and it is hard to really get to know people there if you aren't into partying.

Look elsewhere. If you are looking to enrich your self and your education, there are better options. I intended to transfer permanently to AUR and not even a month into the semester realized this was not a great place to get a degree from.

Do not believe the hype of AURs website. Also, if you are not doing study abroad but choosing to attend independently for a while, make sure that any courses you take can be transferred to a home university. If not, a home university may charge you a large amount to review what is applicable.

The university administrators communicate only in English or Italian. The staff is very diverse though, so many languages should be available. In the country, you can survive without learning Italian, however it will greatly increase your experience there.
