Students who reside in the hotel occupy double rooms and normally have telephones in their rooms. All students, regardless of where they reside, dine together and have equal access to all facilities at the campus. Students in the 2002 Spring semester are advised that for two weeks during the spring break, they are expected to vacate their rooms in the convent and hotel. Many students view this as an opportunity to travel throughout Europe. There are facilities where students may store their belongings for the two-week period.
Participants eat in a family-style dining room on the campus.
Set meals are provided by the staff on a pensione basis. Regrettably, special dietary needs cannot be met and vegetarian meals are not available. The degree of integration into Italian life that one achieves, however, will depend ultimately on one's own motivation.
