Università Degli Studi di Perugia review by plasson

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I'd like to live in an apartment shared with other students (as I did when I was in Italy) for the great opportunity to live with people of different countries
Personal comments:
There are many foreign students in the city and I understand that for the University it would be rather difficult to find lodgement for everybody. I found my first accomodation in internet, it seemed OK but once I was there the appartment was further than I had expected from University, indeed it was in a village some kilometres far from the ciy. The flat was pretty nice and big and I was lucky with my flatmates but I long for a flat in the center of the town. Finally I moved on May with 2 friends to a smaller old apparment in the centre of the town and I could enjoy living in the storic centre of a beautiful medieval city!

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
I hardly had coffee before I went to Italy... but il cappuccinno bewitched me! My favourite cafes: Il Morlacchi (the best cappuccino in a chic cafe) and Il Blitz (a wide variety of tea in a cosy place). At night I used to go to Lo Zoologico (foreigners and italians enjoying music from the sixties!) and to different pubs where were organized spanish, greek, german parties (or whatever nationality represented in the city!) Perugia is a university town but is also a chocolate town. In October-November you can't miss the Eurochocolate (an open market where the only product to buy is chocolate). In July it's time for music: The Umbria Jazz Festival (the best musicians playing, in the streets of a city where, at least for 2 weeks, the rythm which leads its life is jazz) 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?
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:
I had studied Italian for some time before I went to study there and though I thought myself capable to but I was perfectly aware of the importance of continuing there my studies of Italian. I like very much languages and I'm sure enough that to improveme my level it was absolutely necessary to go to the country where the language in question is spoken. The great variety of nuances you can learn of a language, being able of using slang expressions to sit an oral exam in a foreign language and a great deal of everyday comunication exchanges you only can learn it there, talking with native speakers and living their country and culture This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
