What our students said about Rome

4.0

Rating: 4/5

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 ...).

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.

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).

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.

What school directors said about Rome

Tiziana Di Dedda

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!

Fabrizio Fucile

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.

GIANMARCO SCALAS

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.

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Rome

Studioitalia

StudioItalia not only teaches language skills very well in class, but also cultural knowledge at the same time. The teachers encourage the participants to learn and always seem very positive and organised. The emphasis is on active use of the language. The course participants were also always very nice and supported each other in learning and understanding.

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.

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

Why Rome? Rome, the 'Eternal City' was once the administrative centre of the mighty Roman Empire. Now it is a city that features more than 2600 years of history and culture – a few of the splendours are the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, the Spanish steps, Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. As a capital city should have, Rome boasts fantastic shopping and an entertaining night life. The city is blessed with a warm Mediterranean climate, making Rome particularly pleasant to visit in autumn and spring.
What we like 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!

What we dislike about Rome

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.
