Our life
The Collegio Sant'Anselmo is located on the beautiful Aventine Hill. Away from the noise of the city, it offers a peaceful environment to study. Here live Benedictine students who come from all over the world to study at Sant'Anselmo or in the city of Rome. We are 90 residents from all continents and from more than 30 countries. We also live with diocesan priests who appreciate the monastic environment for their liturgical studies.
The program of the day includes time to pray, study and relax. We chant the Opus Dei in Latin and Italian. At supper, we eat together while listening to the table reading in Italian. At lunch, however, we have "colloquium". As a community of students and professors, we help each other and learn from each other. For leisure, there is a soccer field, volleyball court and swimming pool. As an international college, we also grow thanks to the richness of different cultures. We regularly celebrate Mass in a different language and then spend the evening in social-language groups. Each resident is a member of a deanery, who helps him during his studies.
