Erasmus Experience in Rome, Italy by Frederico

Why did you choose to go to Rome, Italy?

Because they are a latin coutry as my homecountry and I have already visited italy but not the true Roman "Empire", so erasmus was a good opportunity for it.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

1500 euros for 6 months (1 semester)

Would you recommend the city and the University of Rome to other students?

If they know how ti speak italian I would recommend them to come no matter what, bit if they dont they should first check if their lessons are taught in english or not.

Did it cost you to find your accommodation in Rome?

No, it was actually very easy because I met a guy of the erasmus association Erasmus in campus, and he showed us a lot of rooms. But I thouroghly recommend students to contact him as soon as possible.

How much does it cost to live in Rome?

It depends, for example my room costs 430 euros with bills included nas it is a private room located on the suburbs of the city

Where would you recommend to go on a night out in Rome?

To have a drink I recommend the black market, il barone rosso, all the erasmus events(actually not all), Goa club(for Electronic, Techno, hip-hop fans)

And for eating? Can you recommend some good restaurants in Rome?

The apperitivos is a nice way to have dinner at a cheap price(from 4 euros) because you order a drink and you have avaible a buffet. I recommend 8 milimitre and frezo e frizione

What good cultural sites are there to visit?

A lot, that wont be a problem! Trust me.!

Is there any other advice that you could give to students going to Rome in the future?

Dont miss any opportunity to have fun and get ti know new people!
And most important, that I learned: the NO is guarenteed so talk to who you want do what you want, dont be shy
