ISA Roma was an amazing group of individuals that put together great trips, activities, etc. They were always pleasant to be around, very understanding, and very helpful. It was a pleasure meeting those individuals and sharing my abroad experience with them. |

* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
We lived in an apartment complex in the heart of Trastevere. Wonderful neighbors to interact with and great gelato right across from our apartment. The location of the apartment was excellent-right off of the 44 bus which would take us straight to AUR and into downtown Rome as well. Many shops/restaurants/markets/etc. off of this bus line and a very convenient ride. |

No food on campus, ISA Rome took us to amazing restaurants and hosted great meal nights. |
