Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? I would like to experience the true Italian family life style within their environment.
Personal comments:
This has been, by far, the best experience of my life. The whole idea of living in such a beautiful country and an amazing city made me realize how much the world has to offer. I have come to appreciate art, literature, and the culture. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
My most enjoyable experiences were spent traveling the country. Not only are the travel accomodations reasonable, the people were kind, and the scenery was beautiful. My most memorable experiences was the Andrea Bocelli concert in Pisa, the Eros Ramozzotti concert in the Olympic Stadium, and hiking through Cinqueterra.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I felt language courses in the language of the host country were extremely helpful. It was easier to pick up on speech patterns, dialects, etc. when surrounded by it daily. The other course I enjoyed was the history course. Because Rome is a city rich with culture, history, and art it was amazing to see what I was learning about first hand.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
More language classes focusing on interaction with people in the actual city/country instead of what is taught strictly in the classroom setting. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
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:
Since I am so interested in the Italian culture, I wanted to make sure I would learn as much as I could living in Rome. I wanted to learn all the slang and common pharses to fit as a native. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
None Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Traveling from city to city or from country to country for that matter is cheaper because most of it can be done by train. Hostile or apartments are available for rent. Because I dinner was not included as part of our accomodations food was a good part of my expenses. Food, Nightlife: was more expensive than at home. Overall, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Travel, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Shopping in Italy can be addictive, be sure to get your tax back, and make the big purchases towards the end of your trip. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
The weather. A dry heat, it does get somewhat chilly. Find a conversation partner that is a native speaker, or that lives in your host city. I was given opportunities and shown places that are interesting instead of normal tourist attractions. A must. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
I was extremely happy with this university. They were extremely helpful, and made the experience more enjoyable. All of the teachers were able to speak the both Italy and English fluently, and they seemed to be as excited to have us, as we were to be there. FINAL COMMENTS
The Let's Go Books can be helpful, but go there to learn. Submerse yourself in the people and the culture, and don't pollute the experience on expectations from home. You are going to experience a different style of living, and to understand a different culture, enjoy it! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
