The JCU Housing Experience
Housing contributes greatly to the quality of the overall cultural and study abroad experience.
Adapting to typical Italian housing allows you to gain a greater understanding of Italian life. When you make a decision to come abroad for a semester or for a year you want to widen your knowledge of the world – not to simply live the same way you’ve always known.
Millions have come to Rome over the centuries seeking a unique experience and you are about to live it as part of your education.
Coping with different housing standards is part of your learning experience here in Rome. Remember that you are in an ancient city. Don’t expect your housing to be exactly like "back home" in your modern dorm. If you want to know how Romans live, become intimate with the historic center ("centro storico") of the Eternal City and learn to appreciate a completely different style of life, then you are in for a treat. Where else can you work toward your degree, step outside and see the Colosseum, Trastevere, or the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica?
The JCU Housing Office is committed to providing adequate and safe accommodations not far from the University. Our apartments are located in residential neighborhoods which allow students to be residents of Rome, know their Italian neighbors, and discover all the best places for pasta, pastries and gelato.
In order to house our numerous students relatively near our Trastevere campus, the Housing Office contracts apartments or makes arrangements with commercial residences in the central area of the city. Although the apartments vary in location, style, age and size, all of them are equipped with the essential amenities.
