Vatican Museums

Walking in Rome is a constant voyage of discovery. Where else can you find ancient fountains a step away from Visigothic churches and Renaissance palaces? The Colosseum, Pantheon, Catacombs, Castello Sant' Angelo, St. Peter's, and the Sistine Chapel are just a few of Rome's treasures awaiting you. The IES Rome Language & Area Studies Summer program is designed primarily for students with little or no Italian who are interested in studying Italian Language, Art History, Political Science or Cultural Studies in an Italian atmosphere in Rome. The IES Rome Summer program offers beginning, intermediate, and advanced level language courses designed to give you the opportunity to begin Italian language studies or improve existing Italian language skills, while immersing yourself in Italian culture and civilization. All students enroll in one language course (3 credits) and one English-taught area studies course (3 credits) for a total of 6 credits for the summer.

| Housing |
Students are housed in apartments throughout Rome, many of which are with Italian roommates who are either students or young professionals. The apartments are furnished, and students share cleaning and cooking responsibilities. The housing arrangements provide additional opportunities for you to use your Italian on a daily basis, whether exchanging greetings and chatting with neighbors, or shopping for groceries in local stores. Meals are not included in the housing arrangements. Students normally prepare their own breakfast and dinner, and eat lunch either at the University cafeteria or in local cafés, pizzerias, and restaurants. Students should not expect to live in the heart of Rome. Some IES housing is located in the Nomentana neighborhood, which is approximately 40-45 minutes by public transportation from the heart of Rome. Some students may be placed in housing closer to central Rome and the Trastevere district, in which case they may have a 30-45 minute commute to the IES Center. The average commuting time to either central Rome or the IES Center is 45 to 90 minutes. |
