“Whenever possible travel in large groups because you can get discounts. Try to visit as much as possible, Italy is a unique place and the cities have various architectures. Drink espresso because it’s the best coffee they make and live your life as it will be now tomorrow.” Read Review

Università degli Studi di Lecce review by Cristina

Review by Cristina, Academia de Studii Economice din Bucuresti, Bucharest, Romania
Marketing and Sales Management, Erasmus
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: 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.
Personal comments:
Staying in the campus was charming and challenging in the same time. I’ve learned a lot during that time and I think I was able to grow immensely.

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