Housing in Florence



Students in Florence will be housed in shared apartments that are conveniently located in the city center. Students may request roommates on the housing application form and IAU will do its best to accommodate such requests. Note that air conditioning is not common in Florence, so it should be an expectation that this will not be available.

The apartment accommodations in Florence are furnished, fully equipped, and shared with other IAU students. IAU apartments are located throughout the city and are within convenient access to grocery stores, shops, restaurants, pharmacies, and public transportation. In the apartments, students will have access to ample and shared living space and a fully-equipped kitchen, wifi, and linens (bedding and towels included). Students may share their bedroom with another student, although each student will always have their own bed. No meals or laundry services are included with apartments, so students are responsible for all meal costs and preparation as well as laundry costs. IAU will host a welcome and closing dinner as well as a variety of other social gatherings where food is provided. 

All program participants are required to live in IAU-arranged housing. All program participants will be required to sign and abide by the IAU Code of Conduct & Housing Rules.
