Staying In Touch

Phone Calling in Italy

• Please keep in mind that Italy is 6 hours AHEAD of Eastern Standard Time when calling. If you call students in the Albergo Athens after 11:00 PM Italian time, you will be waking up other students.
• Please also be aware that upon immediate arrival into Italy, students may experience difficulty in calling you to notify you of their arrival. In order to call you they must first exchange money, deal with luggage, buy a phone card, find a phone and negotiate the Italian phone system. Please do not panic or worry. Students sometimes place themselves in greater danger trying to call too quickly. It is safer to be patient.
• Please keep in mind that when calling a student in the Kehoe Center, there is only one shared phone among all the students. This phone is for incoming calls only and calls must be limited to 10-15 minutes. For longer conversations, it is better that the student call you from a pay phone with a telephone calling card.
