HOUSING

History of Art, Independent
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I think you get the 'full' experience living on your own in Rome and I'm sure it's more laidback than living with a family
Personal comments:
I guess some people may have had a bad experience because they didn't like the roomates chosen for them or their space was too small (MIKE T AND CHRIS IN THE CAVE!!! BAHAHAH) but I was lucky to get a big house and a backyard with 4 cool roomates VIA LORENZO VALLA!!!!!! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
