Graduate Housing
Graduate Housing offers convenience and independence for students seeking accommodations where they can immerse themselves in the daily life of Rome and take advantage of being part of the JCU graduate community.
Graduate students have the option to live in a studio apartment or in a shared apartment (single-occupancy bedroom). All apartments are fully furnished with all utilities included. The apartments are in neighborhoods near the campuses and are accessible on the city’s public transportation with up to a 30 minute commute by bus or tram, or on foot.
The apartments can have various floor plans, aesthetics, furnishings, or locations. Students can include building and room options on the application as preferred housing options; however, the actual placement may vary based on the availability and the date of submission. Graduate Housing is limited, and priority is given to new incoming graduate students who start in Fall.
The JCU Housing team supports students living in Graduate Housing with advice, tips, and information about nearby shops and services. Additionally, students are provided with an emergency number available 24/7.
