Rome Housing
Live in the heart of the Eternal City
The Thomistic Institute houses all students in a guest house on the grounds of the Irish College*, a small, gated campus located within the walls of the ancient city. Imagine living mere steps away from the Colosseum and the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran! The location offers easy access to the Angelicum and to the rest of Rome, whether on foot, by bus, or by metro.
While most other Rome programs house students in apartments scattered throughout the city, the TI program chooses to house all students together to create the opportunity for intellectual conversations to continue beyond the classroom. Our students find that the opportunity to live, eat, and explore with their peers greatly enriches their experience in Rome.

Accomodations
Students live in comfortable, double-occupancy rooms (with private bathrooms), and have access to the campus’ library, chapel, small gym, laundry facilities, and soccer field.
Mangia!
In most other Rome programs, students are on their own for food. In the Thomistic Institute program, all meals are included!
Community meals further the mission of the program to foster meaningful friendships among the students.
The students gather in the dining room for pranzo - the midday meal and the biggest meal of the day in Italy. Pasta is served at every pranzo!
Breakfast and dinner (cena) are also provided in the dining room.
