Accommodation
— The school offers a no-frill accommodation option in the form of a limited number of beds in double rooms in nearby hotels or apartment complexes, at a price much lower than the open market. If you are not at ease with these conditions, you can reserve accommodation on your own. If instead you are interested in this option, please mark “Yes” at the relevant question in the application form.
— The cost of this accommodation solution is about 40 euros/night .
Financial support
— The school can directly cover the cost of the accommodation mentioned above for a limited number of selected applicants.
— If you want to apply for the support above, please mark “Yes” at the relevant question in the application form. Note that the School can not provide support in a form different from covering the provided accommodation. In particular, the School cannot provide travel support to any student.
Meals
— A light buffet lunch during the weekdays is provided on the GGI premises for students and lecturers, at no cost. All the dinners and the lunches during the weekends are instead at the charge of the participants. Restaurants in Florence range from very cheap (less than 10 euros for a basic snack) to very expensive ones. An average of about 30 euros for a good meal is a reasonable assumption. Some of the accommodation options provide a shared kitchen.
VISA
— The School can provide an invitation letter to accepted students who need to apply for a VISA. However, the School can by no means affect or speed up the process for obtaining an entry Visa in Italy.
