Residential Places in Rome 

Residences in Rome mostly consist of apartment buildings, condos and townhouses. Tight living proximities are preferred by Italians and they rarely stretch outward to accommodate more living spaces. This preference has roots in ancient times when the surrounding cities were constantly at war and the citizens huddled together in houses behind protected city walls. Many expatriates in Rome choose to live in Trastovere. It’s a district which sits right across the river from the city center. This is the reason why it was named “across the Tiber”. It is surrounded with historical infrastructure amidst the apartment buildings. Since it is located away from the city center, Trastovere has maintained its small village feel. There are numerous apartments in this area – each with its own historical value. The Historic Center also boasts of numerous apartments with prestigious histories. 

Hospitals and Universities of Rome 

Rome had been the center of culture and political power for hundreds of years. After the fall of the empire, Rome still continued to hold power and influence. It produced the world’s greatest thinkers and artists whose works and ideas still benefit the world today. For all that it had contributed to the world, Rome deserves the title of Italy’s center for higher learning. Each year, hundreds of students who want to pursue a degree or a few semesters flock to Rome. This is because Rome offers the unique experience of combining theory and direct concrete application of these theories through the city. There are numerous private universities in Rome that offer programs suited for international students. Some of these are the Lorenzo De’Medici School, Lexia International, instituto Europeo di Design, Guido Carli Free International University for Social Studies or Luiss, Libera Università Maria SS or LUMSA, and the American institutions of St. john’s University, John Cabot University in Trastovere, and the American University of Rome located in Janiculum.
