Rome is an ideal city for students, offering a vibrant and youthful atmosphere. You'll be surrounded by history, culture, and art in every corner while enjoying a multicultural environment. These qualities of Rome attract thousands of students annually, driving up rental costs. As a result, many young people opt for shared apartments to save on rent and utility bills, including electricity, water, and internet. Plus, having roommates will make your time in Rome even more enjoyable!

Make the most of the Erasmus+ apps to help you with your exchange process. These apps offer access to experiences and advice from other Erasmus students, assistance with necessary paperwork, and information about student life in Rome.
Living in a shared flat means your roommates will likely become great friends. Here are some other ways to meet people:
The Erasmus Student Network has an association in Rome called ESN Roma ASE. It's mainly for students attending Sapienza University of Rome, but you can join their activities and events even if you attend another institution.
ESN Roma ASE has a Facebook group where they post upcoming events and photos of their activities. You can also join other groups like Erasmusland Rome, and groups specific to your academic year.
Many Facebook groups and associations create messaging groups on platforms like WhatsApp, for students to connect and stay updated on activities. ESN Roma ASE, for example, has a Telegram group that you can access through links on their social networks.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
The price of shared rooms in Rome starts at €100 and individual rooms start at €200 per month. The cost of an apartment with multiple rooms usually starts at €600 for a two-bedroom apartment.
Check out our Erasmus Play website to see verified accommodation options for shared flats, including both single and shared rooms, as well as apartments with two or more rooms.
Living in a shared flat lets you interact with your flatmates from day one. You can also join student associations in Rome or connect through Facebook, Whatsapp, or Telegram groups created for Erasmus students.
Sharing a flat is more affordable than renting an entire apartment, allowing you to live in better neighbourhoods close to your university and the city centre. You’ll also get to share the experience with Italian students (perfect for practising the language!) and other international students.
It's important to understand your potential roommates' lifestyles to ensure compatibility. Consider questions like: Do they like to party or are they laid-back? Do they play instruments or listen to loud music? Do they invite friends over often? Is smoking or having pets allowed? Think about what's important to you in a living situation.
