The University of Arkansas Rome Center has an agreement with the housing agency ‘Your Place in Rome’ (YPR).

The area

All apartments are located in traditional, well-established neighborhoods, either within walking distance or conveniently located to public transit routes to the Institute. Travel times to the Institute vary but generally range between 15-30 minutes, depending on bus frequency and local traffic. Detailed travel instructions to/from the Institute will be provided upon arrival.

The apartments

The apartments have a common living area, 2-3 bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. Bedrooms are double occupancy. Each apartment is equipped with basic furnishings and supplies, including one single bed per student, 2 sets of linens and towels, closet/clothing storage space, typical Italian cookware and kitchenware, a table and chairs and furnished sitting area. Desks are to be shared by all occupants.

The apartment unit is provided with a washing machine and a TV. The apartments have a PC and unlimited access to the Internet as well as wireless access for those with wireless-ready laptops. A landline phone is provided for unlimited calls within Italy. Calls to cellular phones and calls outside of Italy incur additional cost, but can be made with a calling card. Unlimited incoming calls may be received without incurring any additional cost. The computer and phone are shared among unit residents.

All apartments are same-sex. No guests are allowed for overnight stays. YPR representatives as well as UARC administration reserve the right to inspect apartments on a 24-hour basis.

The services

YPR provide a 24/7 emergency and security telephone line for emergencies, or just normal maintenance support, and a maid service twice a month.

Behavior

Once you are in possession of the apartment, you are accountable for your behavior and that of those in your party. Your behavior should be considerate of others and responsible. Should you and/or your party behave in such manner that is not considered acceptable by civilized standards or your/your party’s behavior conflicts with our philosophy of polite and constructive international relations, YPR has the right to ask you and/or your party to immediately vacate the premises.
