In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I loved every minute that I was in Torino and today I wish I was still there. Best part was that I made American friends and Italian that will last a lifetime. Just this last winter two of my Italian friends visited me in America and again it was the best time of my life. I cannot wait to move back to Italy.

During my experience abroad, I ...
(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
My only advice is to make as many friends as possible because when you are down or not feeling well they will surely take care of you. I never really understood what friendship meant until you live in a foreign country. Also experience everything because you never know when you can return.
