HOUSING
by Phil, University of Hull, Hull, United Kingdom
Language, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: University halls of residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The Halls are decent because most of the other Erasmus students live there, but it's a bit out of the way and I reckon a flat inside the city walls would be the way to go
Personal comments:
The Halls are fairly basic but they're cleaned every day and there's a cheap meal available at lunch and dinner. There are 3 wings, each 6 to 9 floors deep, so if you're down on the 8th or 9th floor, getting back up to the top can be a treck. If you're with Erasmus people it's good for socialising. If you're with Italians (like I was) it's not so great. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
by Phil, University of Hull, Hull, United Kingdom
Language, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Caffe degli Archi in Piazza della Repubblica shows the rugby and Premier League football. Mackia and Glamour are the 2 clubs - Mackia is much better than Glamour though. The Bosom pub is awesome. Karaoke on Tuesday's in Portico is great fun. El Piquero is pretty cool too. The best thing is that it's all so cheap. €2.50 for 660ml bottle of Peroni in Caffe degli Archi. It's a small town but the night spots are really cool. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I only did French classes and the Italian course for foreigners. French was pretty cool, teacher went easy on us because she knew we were foreign and the Italian course was well taught.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Academic life isn't important on Erasmus. Foreigners who do exam always get great marks without making any kind of effort. It's very easy. 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?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your Italian?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang) My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
I learned plenty of new slang words and some dialect as well. The accent in Urbino is very clear so understanding was never a problem. 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:
An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work Personal spending habits:
Everything's cheaper in Urbino. When you get to big cities (Milan, Florence, Venice, etc) the price jumps hugely but in Le Marche it's cheap as chips. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
When you go out, go to Caffe degli Archi and have some bottles of wine to start you off. It's cheaper, gets you drunker and it's so cool sitting in the piazza with your mates just drinking, chatting and watching the world. Obviously drinks in clubs are far more expensive.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
You try and hang out with Italians at the start but just forget it. You stick with the foreigners and you have a great time. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
I loved it here. The only complaints I heard were that some people said it was too small, but everyone got over that straight away and I can't wait to go back. FINAL COMMENTS
Urbino is a beautiful, renaissance town, built on a steep hill, difficult to get to, but so worth it. The University stops the town from becoming a massive museum, and the foreign students especially. It's so much fun being a student here. You go out as much as you like, the uni lets you off with anything and you get to spend time among incredible, historic surroundings, having the time of your life.
