Library Facilities Pratt studios also has a small library of required course texts and relevant History and Architectural books, as well as important culturally related texts and readings. The collection is small and so each volume holds a precious place on the shelves. Three computers, a scanner, printer, and digital camera are available for students to use in the pursuit of their work. Housing The Program Director assists in organizing and providing group travel and housing arrangements prior to arrival in Rome.
Housing is provided for the full duration of the spring semester program in Rome.
Housing costs include rent, security deposit, electricity, heat hot water, bi-weekly cleaning costs and minimal local telephone costs. Security deposits will be returned at the end of the program provided all apartment and studio facilities are returned in prime conditions they were received in. Meals Italian cuisine is famous for its richness, diversity and taste. As tempting as it may be to sample every and all forms of Italian cuisine, dining out is not always the most economical way to survive the semester. Living with a group of students in a furnished apartment equipped with a kitchen allows the opportunity to sample the fresh produce, breads, pastas and desserts in a more economical way.
