Everyone reviewing Rome is here for four days. We're not. Roma Student is a city guide written by students who actually live here. John Cabot, AUR, Temple, Sapienza, Roma Tre, LUISS and twenty other institutions. Every place was put there by someone who goes, with a note that tells you what to order, when to turn up, and what to skip. WHERE TO GO Food, nightlife, coffee, markets, views, sport, date night. Filter by what's open now, what's near you, and what you actually feel like. Or hit "Can't decide" and let the wheel choose. WHAT'S ON Every week, in one list. What it costs, where it is, and who's already going. Make your own plans and invite people, or leave them open to anyone. WHO YOU MEET The hardest part of a new city isn't the language. Add the people you meet by scanning their code, see which friends are going to the same things, and message them without swapping numbers. THE MARK Some places carry a mark. It isn't a rating. It means somebody here would take you to that place personally, and there are only a few. WHY YOUR EMAIL Signing up needs a university email from a Rome institution. That's the whole point. It's why the recommendations are worth reading and why the people are real. Free. No ads.
