Some of them have also a TV set. The apartments will be shared by several roommates, depending on the size of the apartment. Please note that each of you will be equally responsible for any damages to the apartment or its furnishings and for the phone bills. Guests in the apartments may jeopardize everyone's security, or be an imposition on your roommates. By the beginning of May you will be sent the address and phone number of the apartment in which you will be placed and possibly also a small map with the location of all the apartments.
Many apartments come equipped with a stationary telephone which can be used for local calls only.
However, be aware that even local calls are charged at a rate of about 10c every 2 minutes. You and your roommates will be held responsible for those charges, and it is suggested that you keep track of your calls so that you can more easily divide the costs with your roommates. For those apartments that do not have a phone a cellular phone will be provided so that you will be able to receive phone calls like all other apartments. A deposit of 50.000 lire will be required and will be returned at the end of the program, minus the cost of calls. Please note that phones are supplied for reasons of security and safety, not for prolonged social calls.
