“If you can bring your car with you I recommend you doing it. I did it and it was great to travel and to move yourself in town.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I think that it is the best choice in L'Aquila and living with italian people it was really interesting to learn the local language and culture
Personal comments:
There is not somebody to look for a house for you before your arrival but they can help you if you do not speak italian or you need a phone to call

For spanish people is easy enough to learn italian. In Italy almost nobody speaks english so if you go to Italy don't think about not learning italian.

It is better experience everything by yourself.
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:

Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
I think that is a good place to go if you like quite life of small cities (70000 inhabitants). Anyway the university is big enough (15000 students) and so you will have fun everyday if you want.



FINAL COMMENTS

If you can bring your car with you I recommend you doing it. I did it and it was great to travel and to move yourself in town. I had the chance to travel and know Erasmus life in other more famous and bigger cities (Rome, Florence, Naples, Venice, Bari...) and I would not chance at all for L'Aquila. In other big places it is really expensive and it is not so familiar with foreign students from other countries and local people. In big cities I have seen that people generally only interact with people from their own nationality.
