Personal comments
Little restaurants (near LUISS) serve a delicious italian food, and are cheaper than the ones in the centre. Worth trying! Buy also a cinema card of LUISS and see good european movies almost free.

Personal comments
The university doesn't help to get an apartment. If language skills were't so good, it would be difficult to find one by yourself.

(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
LUISS is a little bit elitist university. Foreign students have to find their activities mainly without a help from the university. But LUISS gives also an academic education of good level, and campus is beautiful.

Academic
Course recommendations
The level of courses depends a lot on the professors. It is better in the first week to visit all interesting classes, and make the final schedule in the end of the week.
