HOUSING

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: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? I never go as an exchange student because I want to upgrade my housing facilities.
Personal comments:
It was quite OK. I had to share room with another student, but that was never a problem. The location was perfect - just a 15 minutes walk to the city centre and 10 minutes to the university.

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: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
Living in Italy is definitely THE best way to improve your Italian skills. It can be challenging at first wit the wide variety of dialects etc, but given time the language isn't too difficult to master.
