Collegio Ghislieri participant:
If admitted to the Collegio, you will pay the University of Oregon the current year's costs for on-campus UO student housing (in a regular, shared residence hall room) with a full meal plan, including costs for housing and meals during the winter and spring breaks. This payment is added to a fund to provide room-and-board support for the Italian students who come from the University of Pavia to study at the University of Oregon. In return, you will receive housing in a nicely appointed single room (with en-suite bathroom) in the Collegio's sixteenth century palazzo, along with a paid meal plan in the Collegio's dining. You will have access to a private library, two computer rooms, gym, tennis court, and a music practice room. The Collegio offers its own courses in modern languages (French, Spanish, German, English and Japanese) and computer science, and organizes a full program of lectures by visiting academics three nights a week during the term.
At-large participant:
You will be assisted in locating housing by the "Institute for the Right to University Study," an independent agency that assists Italian students not admitted directly into any collegio. Depending on demand and availability, the Institute will offer one or more options in a collegio facility, a shared apartment, a rented room, or a home-stay family. The Institute cannot guarantee that you will receive your first choice of housing. You will have access to kitchen facilities and/or inexpensive student restaurants in Pavia. Rent is paid either to the Institute, or directly to the landowner.
