Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
An accomodation on campus is really good to meet people, when you don't know anyone. But now, I don't fear to live alone in Italy : I think that I am able to meet people without "this help".

Personal comments
It was very nice, the building was new and my neighbours were Erasmus. Maybe it would have been better to mix Erasmus with italian people.

Personal comments
The language was not a problem, because I learned it quickly. And at the beginning, everybody spoke english, in order to understand each other.
