People Making Themselves Felt

Promoting talent serving society, educating people that will make themselves felt. This, in a nutshell, is Rui Foundation’s mission.

During your stay in a Rui Hall of Residence, you will follow an educational program built on three value areas, central in defining our identity:

  • generative perspectives;
    Personal reflection, critical thinking and deepening attitude will become your lifestyle, instead of a mere aspect of your academic path. A lifestyle that will thus help you in discovering new value dimensions, open to beauty and the transcendent.
  • community of meaning;
    You will live in close relationships with others, entering a community and learning social skills such as listening, supporting and constructive feedback. You will be able to flourish as a person and to set an example for others.
  • christian realism.
    Together, we will learn to live in our world, understanding its fragility and the gifts to bring to fruition in our communities, always stable in the christian message, in our service-rooted vocation.

One-to-one Relationship

This is one of our defining traits: we deeply care about the education and growth of every single one of you.

In the Hall of Residence, you will live with the direction team and with fellow students, building lifelong friendships.

Through the tutoring program you will be able to better engage in your university experience; through coaching you will have the opportunity of getting involved in a personal program of growth and skills development.

The direction team will always be available for personal exchanges.

Residential Life

It is the beating heart of our educational program and makes the hall of residence “your home away from home”.

Just as happens in a family, you will have the opportunity to be actively involved in the house life, contributing with light chores and developing your team-working abilities.

You will get together with others after dinner, you will be able to take part in trips, studying weekends, city-located or international volunteering activities.

There will also be plenty of opportunities for sport activities, thanks to our gyms and camps, and many other occasions for different celebrations together throughout the year.

In your Hall of Residence you will have many occasions of personally meeting prominent figures from the cultural, corporate and academic worlds.

You will also have placement opportunities and the possibility to engage in international experiences.

"The talks with the Director are always pleasant moments of meaningful exchange. After just a short time, it felt like I had known him for years. His ability to empathize is truly extraordinary. I still keep in touch with my former Director from time to time and never miss the chance to visit him when I pass through Rome."

"The one-on-one relationship with the Director, built through talks and coaching, was a constant point of reference during my years of study: she helped me develop self-awareness, responsibility, and a clearer vision of my future, both personally and professionally. Even today, we stay in touch, and I can say that our discussions remain stimulating, enriching, and enjoyable."

"My experience at Viscontea was deeply shaped by the key figures, such as the directors and other 'adult' figures. They were the glue that held us residents together and, for me personally, a guiding light and a safe harbor. I remember with gratitude the one-on-one talks I had with some of them, not only during my three years there but also in the years that followed. I always found an open door, no matter what I needed."

"I had the privilege of participating in various activities offered by the residence. Among these, the JUMP program stands out as a highlight of my experience: it featured guest speakers from diverse professional backgrounds, including legal professors, senior civil engineers, departmental heads at leading international brands, and geneticists. These sessions provided not only valuable insights into their industries but also a glimpse into the personal journeys of these individuals—how they derive joy and fulfillment from their work."

"The Hall of Residence offers a well-rounded educational experience. The JUMP courses enriched us and introduced us to fields beyond our studies, while the career orientation activities helped us feel prepared and confident as we approached the job market. Living with girls from all over Italy and the world truly broadens your mind."

"Castelbarco truly felt like a home away from home for me. Here, I learned to put my talents at the service of others. But most importantly, at Castelbarco, I found true friends. Every moment, every activity contributed to my growth and made me feel part of a community. Castelbarco is a place where passions, like gardening and photography, intertwine with dedication to others and friendship, creating a unique and unforgettable experience."

"Torleone was a window to the world for me, my first experience away from home. It encouraged and supported me throughout my university journey; thanks to its educational program, I learned to know myself deeply and, most importantly, it shaped unforgettable memories and lasting friendships. In short, it’s an experience I would wish for anyone in their professional and personal journey."
