Personal recommendation:
I didn't actually chose this university, I was placed there my my home uni, but I really enjoyed it, the town is great and it's really easy to get to other cities in Italy from there, eg Milan, Bologna, Florence and Rome.



FINAL COMMENTS

If you're there to improve/learn the language then you really have to push yourself as its really easy to stick with your friends from home (if you went out there with people from home uni) and speak English all the time. Make an effort to meet Italians and to speak Italian to them.

Personal recommendation:
Università di Parma is good for students who like small cities, who wants to know how real Italians live. Otherwise, it is best to go to Milano, Roma, Firenze etc.



FINAL COMMENTS

Get the Euro train pass to travel around Europe cheaply. Read about the place you are going to visit before you get there so you don't waste resources such as time and money. Always be very polite as you are representing the USA!
