Final comments
I strongly recommend everyone to study in Bologna! Once you go there are a few things that never can be forgotten;
- Enjoy the food, the region of Emilia Romagna is famous for their food culture.
- Travel, Bologna i situated central in the northern part of Italy and by train you get the best oppertunity to discover large parts of the country for a small expense.
- Housing, the association Bussola, located at via Zamboni provides good support in the search of an appartment.

Personal comments
Due to the fact that English not is very useful in Italy I had the best oppertunities to learn the local language even faster, I today I know it quite well. Even though it was difficult in the beginning the experience of social obstacles and not knowing a language is very important. Furthermore I was constantly supported and well understood by native speakers and staff at the university that showed great understandning.
