Student Reviews
Great experience!
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I found the university campuses to be very peaceful and a great place to study or just hang around in, especially when it's a sunny day! Now that the student body is getting larger every year the spaces are starting to be a bit crowded, so I hope the administration will increase the spaces available. The professors and community are amazing and very supportive, of course...

It is a university rich of extra activities. The professors are well qualified and happy to help students. It is situated in the beautiful hearth of Rome. Unfortunately, it lacks of parking area at all.
