Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because living in an appartment with other students was such a good experience.

The International Office offered little help with finding accomodation and there was limited choice.

Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
To many to write. Do as much as you can while you're there because you'll miss it when you leave and you'll kick yourself for not making the effort to go somewhere or do something while you had the chance.

Personal recommendation:
Some of my friends had their placement at other universities in Italy and although they had a reasonably good time, they weren't totally satisfied. I however, had an amazing time and I honestly can't think of a bad thing to say about the year I spent in Verona. This was all thanks to the ASE group who made everyone feel welcome and they really looked after us. Had it not been for them, my experience would have been totally different and could have turned out like that of my friends. A big thanks to the ASE in Verona who gave us all a fantastic year that we'll never forget.



FINAL COMMENTS

As I mentioned before, if you can get out there a bit earlier to find accomodation then it'll be worth it, as you may end up having to share a room or spend loads of money on rent. You'll make your friends in the first few weeks so make sure you attend all the social events. Any problems, go to the ASE office as they'll be more than willing to help.
