Rome ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Rome
What our students said about Rome
Unique city with an incredible amount of history and culture, definitely worth seeing! It remains incomprehensible that apart from the historical core, little is being done for the public sector (renovation of the streets, garbage disposal, replacement of the ailing trams, reduction of emissions ...).
Germany
I can't say anything about the nightlife and the surrounding area. Rome is a great city that, unlike other large cities, can be explored on foot. There are also many beautiful and interesting things to discover away from the hotspots that are besieged by tourists.
Germany
You have to live Rome and not just visit it. It has an immense cultural wealth due to its history. By spending more time there one perceives the identity of the districts of Rome as well as the preserved traditions (many "small trades" disappeared in France).
France
We were surprised by how much we enjoyed living there for two weeks during the class. The Piazza Navona area is delightful, and a perfect location. Lodging in that area is quite expensive, however.
I loved Rome!!!! Everything is united in this city, the beach is an hour away, I miss living there already. Always felt very safe, there are always lots of people out at night too :)
Germany
A great city that has a lot to offer - sights, shopping, food, nightlife, nice people. Not so nice is the garbage and the rental e-scooters that are lying around everywhere.
Austria
Rome has a lot to offer and there is something new to see every day. However, large crowds of visitors are part of the experience.
Germany
Rome is a fantastic city, unique in the world in this way. But I don't know if it will stay as long as it is.
Switzerland
Especially nice to visit the historical things. Other than that, I wouldn't want to live there. Haha.
Netherlands
It is easy to get around with a monthly bus pass but the big city feel lacks the personal ambiance
It is an inspiring and lively, friendly city. I hope to visit it more often.
Germany
It's not the first time I've been. It is a world heritage city, enough said.
Spain
Everything great, lots to see, great sights, friendly people, good food..
Germany
Can't say too much as I had to end my stay early due to the coronavirus.
Germany
Great city with a lot of possibilities. Very crowded and noisy.
Germany
You have to experience it. And for longer than just a few days.
Germany
I love Rome and have visited many times for months at a time.
Wonderful, of course, but not cheap and very dirty in parts.
England UK
I live in Rome and I like living here, so I'm happy with it.
England UK
Very easy to navigate, lots of things to see and do.

What school directors said about Rome
Rome is a magic city in a great location, only 40 minutes by public transport from the sea.Romans welcome foreigners warmely offering not only art and culture but also good food and wine. Cities, like Florence, Naples can be reached within 2 hours
The City can talk for herself, but we have to remind you that, as Rome is in the centre of Italy, all the other Italian cities are a maximum of 3 hours on the train from Rome. Naples is just one hour by train, Florence 1,5 hour!
To list all of Rome’s treasures would be impossible: Rome is one of the most important historic, artistic, and cultural cities in the world. The fun possibilities are endless. Fast, economical transportation connects you to most national and international destinations.
Centuries of history and art,not only in the incredible amount of unique museums,but everywhere in the squares,along the streets, churches and parks.

Parlare, parlare, parlare. Finally, a course that isn't a course. A lot of speaking changes the way you use the language. Be sure to take part in the afternoon activities and aperitivo. Everyone at the school is really friendly, whether it's the teachers, the secretary, the director or the club.

Very good teachers. Nice garden. Very good bar and cafeteria. Pretty building. Very well organise. Very friendly staff. Interesting excursions. I like the methodology but can not be appreciated by other people. A question of taste and needs.
26 September 2022
Course: Intensive (20) - 3 weeks
Student age: 65 years
Good location and small groups. Very attentive staff.
Although the material was free for those of us who have only been there for a week, we should have been provided with the correction of all the exercises in the booklet once we had finished, which was denied, proposing online classes at 33 euros per hour as the only solution.

Information about Rome
This ancient city is filled to the brim with spectacular historical monuments. The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and Pantheon are just a few of the many places to visit. The city has a wonderful art and culture scene here. There is no better opportunity to see this than in the Vatican city in both the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museum. Don’t think you can rest after a day of sightseeing. Rome has an electric nightlife. Meeting locals and partying into the early hours of the morning is both easy and affordable. Of course, you cannot fail to mention the food. The capital city of the country with arguably the best food in the world does not disappoint. There are lots of local restaurants to choose from in a range of prices for everyone’s budget. What are you waiting for, see it for yourself!
Sadly, Rome is a hot spot for petty crime and there are a large number of beggars on the streets. A firm “no” will often deter even the most persistent but it is highly recommended to keep an eye on your belongings at all times. The wonders of Rome are no secret. Tickets often sell out quickly in high season, with very long queues at the most popular visitor attractions. Book well in advance and take a gelato for the long lines.
