Students can eat at the Mensa, which is really cheap and the food is quite good. If you plan to visit museums, you can buy the Abbonamento Musei: you'll be able to visit about 70 museums in Torino and Piemonte for just 20 Euro.
Because in Madrid I live with my parents, so i dont have to pay for the food or housing. I spent more travelling because i found myself in a foreign country and i saw i had to profit the chance i had to visit different cities of Italy
Generally, i spend less in my italian life than in my french life (cigarettes for instance). But food, housing (the rent is higher if you compare the surface of the flat), seems more or less the same than in France.

REVIEWS BY INTERNS AT Università degli Studi di Torino
esperienza interessante
è stata un'esperienza che mi ha permesso di capire il mondo del lavoro e indirizzare il mio percorso di studi
German culture-focused journalism for italophones
I really appreciated my role while doing this training period. I had the chance to teaslate my language skills into practice and exercise my writing skills, significantly improving them.
Eye-opening
Lab tecnnicians were very kind and helpful, they let me do much work on my own, operating machines and programs and even doing manual work. Three stars only because thanks to this internship I realized working in substance analysis wasn't what I expected it to be and thus not what I wanted to pursue anymore. Otherwise, a great experience with qualified colleagues.
