Summer Certificates 2021 – Tuition and Fees

Please note: a € 250 housing safety deposit is to be added and will be refunded to students after the end of the term if no damages are found to the apartment.

Students who stay for BOTH summer sessions (June and July) will receive housing at no extra cost during the break between the two summer sessions, even if the students are attending the LdM program in two different cities. In this case, the students will spend the break always in Florence.

About LdM Apartments

All apartments are fully furnished and come with bed linens, towels, pots and pans, kitchen utensils, basic appliances, washing machine, TV and are equipped with Wi-Fi. They do not come with a phone or air conditioning and all units are NON-SMOKING.

Students should take note that apartments in Italy, especially in the historic centers, are in antique buildings, and therefore no apartment is alike. Although LdM maintains a standard, there are differences in appearance, general condition, and travel time from the institute.

• Due to the number of students and the style of buildings, student housing is set throughout the city of Florence.
• Apartments are within walking distance of the school and easily reachable by public transportation.
• The shared apartments are non-coed.
• The standard apartment bedrooms are double with two single beds in the same room.
• Single rooms consisting of a single bed in one room in a student-shared apartment are limited.

Students are not able to choose their apartment or change roommates. Any roommate request must be specified on the housing agreement form prior to arrival. If a room request cannot be honored due to space limitations, accommodations are assigned according to availability.

Reservation Procedures For Shared Apartments

Once students have been accepted to their LdM program, they will be sent the LdM Housing Booklet and forms required by their program. They should then follow these four easy steps below to reserve LdM Housing at each campus.

Step 1

Students are required to submit the following documentation before housing can be reserved:

• A completed and signed Housing Request Form and Personal Profile
• Housing Rules completed and signed (hand written signature)
• Proof of the full housing payment ( Housing deposit + rent )
• A copy of the student’s passport (photo page)

Step 2

The following documents are required no later than 30 days before the student’s arrival date:

• A Copy of the student’s visa (only if necessary), that has to be requested at the Italian Embassy of your citizen home country.
• Detailed travel itinerary (from the place of departure to the destination. It is MANDATORY to provide your travel itinerary to LdM. Please take into consideration that students may be subjected to a two week quarantine if it will be still required from the Italian government regulations ; In case of quarantine obligation, the students who will attend the Tuscania program must fly directly to the Rome Fiumicino International Airport (FCO). Students who will attend the Florence program must first fly directly to the Rome Fiumicino International Airport (FCO) and then to the Florence Peretola Airport (FLR) as it won’t be allowed to take any public transportation (e.g. train, bus, subway).

*Be aware that some airlines may offer Covid free flights, highly recommended as transit on Italian territory is allowed, without the need, to comply with the obligations of health surveillance and fiduciary isolation,that would allow passengers also to take public transportation. ( Take into consideration that only passengers who test negative for Covid-19 are allowed to board, after having carried out an antigen test taken via swab within 48 hours of boarding. Upon arrival at the airport, passengers are required to undergo an antigen test.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be aware that all students have to arrive at the check in place within and no later than 4:00/4:30 pm on the check in day so please take into consideration when you buy your plane ticket.

LdM will confirm receipt of the full housing payment by email, and will then proceed to arrange housing for the student.

About a week before the beginning of the term, the LdM Housing Office will provide the student via email with:

• Apartment address, specifying roommates and apartment-mates
• Information regarding Housing Check-In
