Personal comments
I have never seen the student hostel. But it was said that they are not so nice. That's why I immediately went to look for something private. Thought it required some patience to find a nice one at the end I am glad I did!

I think I had quite a lot of informations before going and apart from some small surprises nothing actually "shocked" me.

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
If you expect a great university community (or Erasmus network) that organises a lot than Trieste is not gonna satisfy your expectations. But still there is a lot of unofficial organisation among students.

(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
If you come with a car you can really enjoy the area! And profit form a beautiful landscape that offers this corner of Italy!
Don't be disappointed when Trieste apears to you at the first sight too small and without happenings ... just ask around and you will get around! There are e.g. often a lot of concerts organised in the area...

Academic
Course recommendations
Lecturers are generally really nice to Erasmus students. The help you a lot and do not ask for too much! Always try to have a straight contact with the lecturers. Nearly all exams are oral.

It's just a matter of time till you start to speak as you would like to. The direct contact with the people and the continuous praxis made it very easy to understand others and express myself.
