Personal comments
I had no problem with the Italian language and I think that was due to the fact that Romanian has also a Latin origin.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
Staying with an Italian family would have given me the possibility to learn more about their cuisine and customs. However living in the campus was a lot of fun because I had the possibility to interact with a lot of people who were my age.
