Università Cattolica Sacro Cuore review by mettepenningen

Review by mettepenningen, Karel de Grote Hogeschool, Antwerp, Belgium

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: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? You have to speake the local language for the whole day, it's easier to get in contact with the local population and to integrate in the local society, you get quickly used to the culture and the habbits of the country you're living in and you get the chance to show you're culture to others.
Personal comments:
As Milan is a big city were the standard of living is high, the cost for renting an appartement was higher then I was used to in Belgium. On the other hand, the appartement I found was situated in the centre of the city and had all the necessary comforts, was located next to a metro station etc.

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?

Personal comments:
I went to Italy to learn italian and before leaving Belgium I studied basic sentences etc. by myself. During my stay in Italy I improved very fast thanks to contact with the local population. Afterwards I stayed in touched with many of them and I'm still using Italian on a regular basis, not only in my social but also in my professional life.
