The Pontifical Gregorian University is one of the oldest and most influential Catholic universities in the world, founded in 1551 by Saint Ignatius of Loyola as the Roman College. The main campus occupies the Palazzo della Pontificia Università Gregoriana on Piazza della Pilotta 4, between the Trevi Fountain and the Quirinale, while the Pontifical Biblical and Oriental Institutes share the same network. Around 2,800 students from more than 130 countries follow programmes in theology, philosophy, canon law, missiology, psychology and church history, taught in Italian, English and Spanish.

Three to four months before the start of the academic year is the safest window. Demand peaks in late September because the Gregorian opens its semesters at the same time as the rest of Rome's universities, so booking by June protects your choice and price.
Each listing on Spotahome goes through a verification process before publication, so the photos and floor plans you see reflect the property. If anything doesn't match the listing on arrival, report it within twenty-four hours and the team will help with mediation, relocation or another solution.
Most landlords ask for one or two months of rent as a deposit. On listings labelled "Deposit protected", Spotahome refunds the deposit directly if the landlord doesn't return it within three months of moving out and you've met the contract terms. There are also many properties without a deposit, easy to filter from the search.
No. You'll need an ID or passport, your Gregorian enrolment confirmation and a payment method. After the landlord accepts the booking, they may request proof of solvency and a SEPA direct debit to finalise the contract.
The monthly rent always includes rent, the IBI property tax and condominium fees. Utilities such as electricity, water, gas and Wi-Fi are included in many listings but not in all. Personal expenses like groceries, toiletries and optional services such as a weekly cleaner or parking are never included. Read each listing description carefully to know exactly what is in and what is out.
