Erasmus in Rome: what to know first
The Eternal City: art, ancient history, incomparable food and a cosmopolitan student vibe.
The Rome groups for the 2026-2027 academic year are not run by any institution: they are opened by students arriving that same year, usually between the spring and summer before. They fill in waves — first the people with a confirmed place, then the ones locking down housing — which is why a group created too early often stalls half empty.
You do not need to join all of them. Start with the one that solves your most urgent problem in Rome, and add the rest once you have an arrival date.
In Rome housing is the real bottleneck, so the accommodation group is the one to check before any other.

Before you join a Rome group
Erasmus groups are also hunting ground for rental scams, especially in Rome when demand spikes. Three rules head off almost every problem:
- 01Never pay a deposit or a holding fee for a room you have not seen, contract or no contract: it is the most common scam and the most expensive.
- 02Be wary of anyone who pulls you out of the group into a private chat to close the deal fast and under pressure.
- 03A price far below the city reference is almost never a bargain; it is the bait.
