Commentaire personnel

When I was there in 2001, I liked Goa on Thursdays(Gianni--Patrizio!) The now de-funct club Exotica. Best times were with everyone at the Elephant Pub though in Trastevere. I've been back to Rome since then and I recommend Suburbia and Muccasassina. There are a lot of cool wine bars near Piazza Navona. Stay out of Campo Dei Fiori--it sucks and is filled with tourists who think they are on Girls Gone Wild. Best pizza is Frontoni's in Trastevere!

Logement

Type de logement: Appartement/maison

Organisé par: Université d'accueil

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison

Pourquoi?

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

Commentaire personnel

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!!!!!!

Commentaire personnel

I think they could expand the curriculum a little more--then they could get more applicants and students who wish to stay longer than a semester. I was originally staying for a year, but they classes weren't fulfilling enough requirements at my home university.

Commentaire personnel

I minored in Italian so I had some background but living there is the best way to learn the language because there are many people that don't speak English and you are forced to communicate in Italian--which I thought was good. Once in a while there were times when I had trouble communicating.

Recommandation personnelle

I recommend AUR if you want to be in a small school where you know just about everyone. I prefer to go to small schools and I loved just about everyone I met at AUR and had lots of good times--some of the best of my life and some really great roomates.

Derniers commentaires

I have been back to Rome since then to visit some Italian friends and friends that still go to AUR and every time I go I get sad because I miss everyone from the Spring of 2001. I am currently in New York City working at Parsons School of Design-NSU,where I am also pursuing my masters. If anyone wants to email me--ladymissheather@hotmail.com MOLTI BACI Heather***
