Housing in Rome

Rather than a traditional campus dorm, Start Abroad in Rome students live in shared apartments within a residential building alongside local Italian families. 

AUR offers furnished apartments located approximately 25 minutes walking distance from campus. These traditional Italian apartments offer a residential experience that allows students to live within the local community while remaining connected to the university. Please visit AUR Housing Website for more information & virtual tours.
