HOUSING

Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It give you the opportunity to be independent and to experience living separate from the University. Also it gives you the opportunity to live with native (italian) people and therefore helps with your integration into the culture and language improvement.
Personal comments:
The flat that i lived in was private accomodation, therefore had nothing to do with the university. However, it was close to campus, in a great area, i couldn't have asked for more on that front.

STUDENT LIFE    
by NADIA, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom
Financial Management, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Campo dei Fiori offers a fabulous social scene,particularly "la vineria" or "Heartbreak"- v.popular with foreign students. Trastevere/Testaccio have v.good restaurants and are the main nightclub areas due to licensing issues in the centre. Views from "Gianicolo" & "Pincio" are not to be missed, as well as the main city centre sights. A day out to Ostai Anitca is also worthwhile!

KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources

Be ready for extremely theoretical courses requiring extensive readings, but not to worry for the final grades since professors are easy on international students.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: Italian
Was learning Italian a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Italian
How much did you improve your Italian?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
The communication between professors and students is good, while the overall academic atmosphere very hyrarchical. Communication for me was not a problem, as I lived with Italians and already had some good knowledge before coming to Italy. I belive, this is an important precondition for having a good time at LUISS. You have to study lots of literature and could get stressed without a certain fluency of academic Italian.

EXPENSES    
by NADIA, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom
Financial Management, Erasmus
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
An ERASMUS grant
Student loan
Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits:
In Britain I live in my parental home & therrefore not required to contribute to major expenses such as food/telephone and accomodation. however, in host country these expenses are comparibly cheaper than in Britain.
Food, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Travel, Nightlife: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
If travelling throughout the country is likely, it's much more advisable to buy a "chilometrico" ticket for the trains than individau trip tickets-it offers huge savings for distance:price. Bus/underground passes are very good value for money-around £10/month with student card. Also, check for student reductions for all facilites/entertainment.
