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.

Personal comments:
There are so many to mention; I not really sure where to start. Nag Heads was a fun crowd. There are cafes at every corner with out going people with tons of energy. Italy is filled with friendly people.

ACADEMIC       5.0 / 5
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
Not really. They do recommend learning the language a bit before arriving to the Rome Campus. I actually agree with that because it gives the experience a totally different touch because then the student can fit into the culture without many problems, even though the Romans were nice enough to learn english and prefered to speak english.



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course
KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.
Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
If resources were available easier, then projects and essays won't be so difficult to research for.

It was a constant struggle.

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:
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.
