The American University of Rome has contacted the agents listed on the next page and they are available to assist students in searching for appropriate housing. Students who choose this option are placed in a Pensione for up to 12 days during which time the agencies will assist students in finding furnished accommodations.
Students are also free to make housing arrangements through other sources.

Cost of utilities must be paid as bills arrive. Utility bills which arrive after students have departed from Rome will be deducted from the security deposit.
