Living Like the Romans Do

How would you like to wake up in the morning, look out your window and see Gianiculum hill and the gardens where Cristina of Sweden is buried? Or walk through Caesar’s botanical gardens on your way home from school?

 

With the opening of its first residence hall this fall in Trastevere, Rome, students of John Cabot University—an accredited four-year, English-speaking liberal arts school offering an American undergraduate education in the heart of the Italian capital—can do just that.

 

The fully-renovated historic building, once the home of an ancient French family, is called the Gianicolo Residence, and is a two-minute walk from JCU’s main campus. The new furnishings include wood and marble floors, new furniture, air-conditioning, and Wi-Fi connection to the university’s network. Boasting 240 beds, the building includes singles, doubles, triples, and apartments, as well as a common lounge and a quiet study room. A resident assistant will be assigned to each floor to help build community, and students can feel safe with 24/7 security. And with a weekly cleaning service, they can feel clean too!

 

While study-abroad students will be able to live in the Gianicolo Residence, preference will be given to full-time students.
