Casa
Italiana
What is it?
The Casa Italiana offers a unique environment for
students interested in Italian culture, language, and
society. In addition to the opportunity to practice Italian
outside the classroom, regular events and meetings are
organized, with the participation of the Italian Club, and
sometimes independently.
Residents are not required to speak exclusively Italian, but
students living in the Casa Italiana should expect to
speak Italian as often as possible, particularly at group
meals and special events.
Who will live there?
Freshmen and upperclassmen are equally welcome. Residents
must have completed Italian 122 (or qualifying placement
score) by the time they live in the house. The house is open
to both men and women.
Residents are expected to make the Italian House a special
place. You should have a positive attitude toward
cross-cultural living and communication, contribute to the
academic goals of the house, and maintain the cooperative
spirit of the house.
Where is it?
The Italian House is on the second floor of the
Colonnades A, next to the Koury Business Center. Also on
that floor are the French House and German House.
The floor includes:
-
single bedrooms (stand-alone or suites)
-
wireless internet
-
cable TV
-
laundry facilities
-
common room with kitchenette
How much does it cost?
Each room is a single so the cost to live in the house is
the price of a single room on campus per semester. The rates
for the following academic year are determined during the
March Board of Trustees meeting.
Freshmen are required to have 11 meal plan, Sophomores are
required to have a 9 meal plan and Juniors/Seniors are
required to have a 5 meal plan.
How do I apply?
Returning Students: Contact the community
advisor(s) and complete an application during the annual
online housing selection process.
Incoming Freshmen: Select YES on the
Freshman Online Housing Application and answer the essay
question and submit it.
