The two off-campus residences, S4 and Il Santo, may be described as dormitory-style facilities located in the center of Florence. The residence halls are entire buildings that accommodate a total of about 330 NYU Florence students.

Both off-campus residence halls, Il Santo and S4, are newly renovated buildings located about a 10-15 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella Station.  Single and double rooms with en suite bathrooms are available. Students have access to a communal kitchen, shared common areas, and specific amenities, including Wifi, gyms, study and lounge areas, cinema rooms, and cleaning/linens service. Linens and towels are supplied and a cleaning service replaces them weekly. Each room includes a hairdryer, mini fridge, and safe.

• Students living off campus may enroll in the on-campus meal plan by purchasing 25 or 50 meals directly from the on-campus cafeteria provider.

• Students must use public transportation to travel between the NYU Florence campus and their living situations. Taxis are expensive but are the safest way to travel at night. Students should budget for these expenses and leave plenty of time for the commute.

• Sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, and basic kitchen utensils are supplied. Students should bring or purchase an extra towel for travel and wash cloths, if desired. Those who choose to bring their own sheets should avoid bringing plain white sheets, as these may easily be confused with those provided by the cleaning company.
