ESN Roma LUISS
Is a recently-born section of one of the biggest interdisciplinary student associations in Europe: the Erasmus
Student Network (ESN). The volunteers who created and are running this section are proudly committed to the
social and practical integration of international students coming to LUISS University and are actively working
under the ESN mission’s principle “students helping students“.
The goal of the association is to make the period of study of each exchange student in Rome and at LUISS
University unforgettable by supporting diversities, promoting international dimension and involving the
students in many activities. ESN also provides relevant information and encourages the future exchange students
to gain international experience and insight to different cultures.
The Student Exchange Office
The LUISS Student Exchange Office promotes student exchanges within the LLP Erasmus Programme as well as
through Bilateral Agreements with non-European Universities. The office is responsible for all aspects
concerning student mobility in all departments. It also deals with orientation and registration of incoming
students on exchange programmes.
All procedures are based on the ECTS system (European Community Course Credit Transfer System).
The Student Exchange Office has standardized and simplified all the procedures for the Erasmus and exchange
students. All internal administrative procedures are channelled through the Office. Many aspects are taken care
of automatically by the offices involved, such as course enrolment and registration for the exams.
When incoming students arrive, they are offered orientation sessions and receive an information package.
Registration procedures, course selection and learning agreements are prepared and completed with the
assistance of the Student Exchange Office. During their period of study at LUISS, guest students receive face-toface support and advice when needed.
A number of activities are organized to help integration of the international students with the cooperation of the
student associations. Incoming students are offered the same facilities and services as local students, such as:
sports, a university dining hall, a medical doctor, IT and e-mail, a library, a bookstore, cultural events, seminars
and conferences, a university radio, Erasmus tutoring, etc.
It is the policy of LUISS Guido Carli to work with a small number of high quality representatives in each of the
countries we operate in. At present, we have about 120 student exchange cooperation agreements in 30
countries. We receive over 210 Erasmus and exchange students each year.
Italian language courses
Each year LUISS offers an Italian language crash course in September and extensive courses in both semesters
for Erasmus and Exchange students who have been admitted to attend a semester or a year at the Departments
of Business and Management, Economics and Finance, Political Science, or Law. The courses are at three levels:
beginners, intermediate and advanced. Students can gain 3 ECTS credits for each course. They are free of
charge for the students.
Housing
Accommodation is guaranteed to all students that apply by the deadline. Erasmus and Exchange students
live off-campus rooms in private apartments with other students. A private organization, CTS, takes care of
housing for LUISS Erasmus and exchange students. The Student Exchange Office does not take direct
responsibility in providing accommodation.

The city of Rome
Rome is the capital of the Italian Republic and is the most populous and largest municipality in Italy. Rome is
located in the middle of the Italian peninsula. The city was built on seven hills: Palatine, Aventine, Capitoline,
Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline and Caelian. The city of Rome offers a wide range of interesting possibilities, thanks
to its unique richness of history, culture and art. Visitors will have the amazing opportunity to travel through
history while walking on its streets: day life doesn’t only offer superb views of the Colosseum, Fontana di Trevi,
the Foro Romano, Piazza di Spagna or the Pantheon, but also surprises with ancient secrets and modern beauties
in the narrow streets of the city centre. The Roman night is also full of places where-to-be: the old Trastevere
quarter, the very popular Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza Navona are only some of them. Entire collections of art
masterpieces will be found in the Vatican and the Capitol Museums, in the Borghese Gallery and in the National
Museum of Modern Art, as well as in the many precious churches and cathedrals. Rome is one of the greatest
centres of the Classical, Renaissance and Baroque art. The stratification of cultures, styles and works of art
realised during the centuries is one of the most fascinating characteristics of the city. It is the city with the
highest concentration of historical and architectural riches in the world.
