Overall
I wish I had known...
The only thig I wish I had known before going abroad is the difficulties that sometimes I had to face living alone in a one-room apartment. I think that it is better for a foreign student to live together with other students, in order to get to know easily other people and to improve constantly the foreign language

Personal recommendation
The University of Wuerzburg offers a high quality of courses and several tutorial activities dedicated to all the international students who come to Wuerzburg every year. Every professor has a secretary who is generally always available to help students to organise their plan of study and give every sort of advise. The university library offers a great amount of bibliographical material for all the scientific fields which are taught at the University, so that avery student can have an easily access to it to carry out a research or a group project, which are generally required in many seminars.

Personal comments
The experience of studying abroad was extremely helpful in order to improve my knowledge of the German language and my ability in speaking a foreign language. Thanks to the everyday contact with German people and the possibility of studying and following the lectures in a foreign language I had the possibility to deepen and strengthen my previous, pretty theoretical knowledge of the German language and to acquire some basic knowledge of the slang. At the end of my Erasmus experience I noticed that I could speak confidently and write without too many uncertainties. The ability of understanding both a colloquial and an academic speech was reinforced as well.
