ACCOMODATIONS IN ROME

Finding a room or a house in a big town such as Rome may not prove that easy…

Saint Louis does not own halls of residence, but our International office is always available to help incoming students, and many alternatives to student residences are possible! In particular Saint Louis developed two partnerships with dedicated Accommodation Services, reliable and effective, which both work through dedicated web-sites available in English language, too: STURENT and UNIPLACES.

Saint Louis cooperates with a housing agency called STURENT, that is free of charge and that can help you to find a room in a convenient area. STURENT is a private company specialized in student accommodation and therefore it is able to help students to obtain transparent conditions

and legal rental contracts.

Thanks to STURENT students can choose from a list of housing opportunities, select the accommodation they are interested in, and visit them by planning an appointment with the Accommodation Service staff. Students that use this service can benefit from a tutor service, through which they can receive help such as support in choosing houses, defining the rental contract and general support during the whole rental period. The staff will be at complete disposal, during the visit of the apartment and all students will be helped also during the rent contract stipulation with the owner. Every housing offer is publicized on the website, with pictures and very detailed information. All you have to do is to click on the link bellow.

CLICK HERE TO START LOOKING FOR YOUR ACCOMMODATION ON STURENT

On the main page you will just need to select the type of accommodation (single room, apartment etc.) and Saint Louis as your University. You can also add a particular neighbourhood and price range if you have one in mind. Otherwise the system will automatically show you all the various options and you can make your choice. Within the description of the accommodations there will also be a description of other factors such as the minimum length of the contact, if the offer is open to both boys and girls, the general state of the apartment, etc.

Sturent services are free of charges for Saint Louis students, and are offered both in Italian and English! Choose the house you like, visit it, and sign the contract.

Uniplaces is the fastest-growing online platform helping students around the world find a home in Europe, and has already booked more than 7 million nights in over 30 European cities. Uniplaces made available for Saint Louis students a Promocode to get a 25 % discount on their service fee. This will be communicated by the International Office Staff once the students are registered in the school.

The online booking process makes it possible for students to safely rent from local landlords. Thanks to quality photos and detailed descriptions, Uniplaces makes sure students have all the information they need to make a safe and informed decision without the need of flying over weeks in advance.

Uniplaces is creating the ideal rental experience for everyone, and has its sights firmly set on becoming the number one mid- to long-term accommodation platform in the world.

HOUSING AREAS IN ROME When looking for accommodation keep in mind that a good bus and underground transport service is important.

Saint Louis is very well connected through the underground system, and it is very central. The underground station Saint Louis is connected with is on the B line and it is called “”. It also quite easy to get to us from the Airport since there are both train and bus services connected to “” central station, one stop away on the underground from metro “Cavour”.

Many students studying at various Universities in Rome choose the neighborhood near the “” underground station for accommodation, and this location is just 4 stops on the B underground line away from Saint Louis, so it is a good location to look for a place!

There are many possibilities of accommodation connected with the A line of the underground such as: Numidio Quadrato, Lucio Sestio, Giulio Agricola, Re di Roma. These are the most popular locations for students, since it is possible to find opportunities with low rent costs.

Be flexible in your demands and be aware that the market offers more shared rooms than single ones.

PRIVATE HOUSING Prices for a private room in a shared apartment go from € 300.00 to € 550.00 (sometimes higher) per month. Please note you will also be required to pay a deposit (1-3 months). Always ask for a signed receipt of payment. Utilities such as electricity, gas and heating could be extra, so make sure to ask. Usually, with a temporary lease, you are not responsible for any other fees (building maintenance, water, garbage disposal charges etc). Do not pay from abroad before arriving. You should see the house and meet the person who is providing accommodation before paying.

ANNOUNCEMENTS (websites & newspapers) Apart from the STURENT website, other announcements of rooms can be found on the following WEBSITES: - UNIPLACES: global trusted brand for student accommodation https://www.uniplaces.com - HOUSING ANYWHERE: https://housinganywhere.com/#universityPartners (recommended by ESN, AIESEC, etc.) - VCN Rome (Facebook Group, in English) - www.home4students.it

There are also a lot of NEWSPAPERS for free that can be found near newsstands, bars etc. which publish accommodation offers. The most used one locally is Porta Portese, which comes out on Tuesdays and Fridays. You can also check the website at www.portaportese.it – click on Immobiliare and then Affitto- Subaffitto. (Italian only)

Room Adverts on University Notice Boards/Word of Mouth In our buildings it is possible sometimes to find advertisements for accommodation. If you are having difficulty, you can bring these advertisements to the International Office and we will help you call to enquire.
