Located in a four-story building on one of the main streets of the Janiculum, the Center is ten minutes by bus from the Piazza Venezia and downtown Rome. It is close to the American Academy in Rome with which it maintains cordial relations. The building is owned by the Suore Infermiere dell'Addolorata, and contains bedrooms (mostly doubles) for 36 students, classrooms, a library, offices, dining rooms, and a kitchen. Outside is a small and pleasant garden. The neighborhood is residential with apartment buildings, small shops, cafes, and services. Three meals a day are provided at the Center, Monday through Friday. Other meals are at individual student's expense and are not included in the program fees.

Because the Center is small, the living situation can be very intense and generally requires adjustment on everyone's part. Students are urged to have a positive outlook and to spend time outside of the Center.

All participants are subject to Duke University's scholarship and conduct. For details on these policies, see http://judicial.studentaffairs.duke.edu/policies/index.html.
