Temple University Rome is the Italian campus of Temple University in Philadelphia and one of the largest American study-abroad programmes in Italy. The school began with twenty students in 1966 and now hosts more than 700 students each year through semester, summer and full-year programmes, with the first four-year bachelor's degrees launching in autumn 2026. The new campus opened in autumn 2024 at Via di San Sebastianello 16, adjacent to Piazza di Spagna and the Spanish Steps, and includes art studios, a printmaking studio, a science lab, an art gallery, panoramic terraces and a 51-bed residence hall.

The Spanish Steps are five minutes from class, Villa Borghese ten minutes away, and weekend trips to Florence, Naples and the Amalfi Coast are part of the academic calendar.
Via di San Sebastianello 16 sits next to Piazza di Spagna, one of the easiest spots to reach in Rome:

Three to four months before the start of the semester. Temple Rome welcomes its largest cohorts in late August and early January, when demand across Rome peaks. Booking online from the United States avoids paying for hotels during the search and protects your budget against last-minute price spikes.
Every listing on Spotahome is verified before publication, so the photos and floor plans you see reflect the actual property. If something doesn't add up on arrival, report it within twenty-four hours and the team will help with mediation, relocation or another solution.
The deposit is set by the landlord, usually one or two months of rent. 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 Temple Rome 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 the listing description carefully so the move-in day brings no surprises.
