Study Abroad in Florence: Housing & Meals

Students live in an Italian home or a student apartment. Housing is arranged on the basis of housing form requests. Typical accommodations might be with an Italian host or family in an apartment in a residential section of Florence or a spacious apartment shared with three or four other students. If in an apartment, approximately 280 euros should be paid directly to the landlord upon arrival for utilities. Phones are not provided. Cell phones can be purchased for a reasonable price.

Students receive restaurant vouchers for 10 meals per week (five breakfasts plus five dinners per week except during trips). Vouchers can also be used in supermarkets, so students sharing apartments may pool resources to cook for themselves. Housing is located within a 30-minute commute of the Study Center.
