Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Independence
Personal comments:
The housing is excellent. You can either choose to live at the Villa on Campus or off campus at one of the housing facilities where only other NYU students live, or you can live in an independt apartment building where Italians live.

Battery Park. East Village is my favourite neighborhood, with all the bars and cafes. Museums like MOMA or the Metropolitan are a MUST.

Literature, Independent
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:
I studied in a very small department, the Comparative Literature Dpt., so it was rather limited in terms of courses. Since I came in with an M.A., I had to take all course requirements towards my Ph.D. within that department.



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:
Not really, any Ph.D. program is a somewhat grueling process.

Overall
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I had a previous experience in Australia, where I had learned most of my English. At the beginning I had some problems with american pronunciation, but after a while things come easily. Talking with my flatmates, watching tv, listening my professors... it's an infallible method.
