Temple Rome places students in apartments or aparthotel-style residences located in lively residential areas. These housing options are placed in well-serviced central neighborhoods, 10 to 40 minutes by walking or by public transport from the Temple Rome campus. Many students walk to school from their apartments; however, campus is also easily accessible via public transportation. Students will be surrounded by local food markets, supermarkets, local shops, places to eat, and public transit options. All the housing options provide cleaning service and maintenance.

While these properties are not owned by Temple University, there is good communication between Temple staff and the management if problems arise.

The apartments are in a variety of buildings, complexes and privately owned residences rented by Temple University. In addition to Temple Rome participants, Italians, and students from other U.S. study abroad programs may also live in these apartment buildings. As these apartments are not U.S.-style student residences where rooms and configurations are uniform, each apartment can vary in size and layout, as well as in the number of students it can accommodate. Apartments house between four and eight students, with no more than three students per bedroom.

All program-arranged housing options have been vetted by the Temple Rome staff to ensure that students have a comfortable living space, however, some aspects of the apartments may feel different from U.S. standards, so flexibility is important.

All housing is non-smoking and equipped with:
• Wi-Fi
• Kitchens with basic utensils, cookware, and gas stoves
• Bathroom (if the apartment has more than 4 residents, there will be a second bathroom)
• Fire extinguishers and smoke alarms
• First aid kits
• Television
• Maintenance support
• 24/7 on-call student life staff for emergencies
• Easy access to the metro and all public transport
• Laundry facilities
• Towels and linens
• Fans
