HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because is a great experience. You get to know better your partners' behavior. You become independent with responsabilities and freedom.

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:
As an Italian major, this was the best experience possible for me. At first I did struggle a bit, but the Italians were so helpful and encouraging, that I quickly improved, The majority of the year I felt extremely comfortable in any situation and greatly enjoyed abandoning my english for the year.

EXPENSES
by Fiona, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
History, University Agreement
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
Family Government assistance Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work Personal spending habits:
Because nightlife is expensensive (eg drinks, dinners). Rent is more expensive than at home, unless you share a bedroom. Food, Travel: was the same price as at home. Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
The commission paid to an 'agency' when we found a place to rent. It was equal to one month's rent. Phonecalls home were okay because I used a Telecard linked to my home phone bill. Internet access wasn't too bad especially if you bought a few hours all at once. Get a 'biglietto chilometrico' for train travel. MUCH cheaper than buying tickets for every trip, if you don't mind normal (ie not Eurostar) trains. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
That I shouldn't have gotten as attached as I did because now I really want to go back to live there. In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
The classes are DIFFICULT and very different from the American University style. But, if you are aware of that before you go, you will have a great expereince. FINAL COMMENTS
If you are looking for the best cultural experience, it's best not to become part of the American scene in Florence. (It is very large). Speak Italian! Make Italian friends! Don't spend your time travelling like the other Americans do. Spend time discovering what Florence really is and why you are there.
