do not go for academic reasons...very unorganized...i chose them because they were the cheapest and that ended up not being a great reason too. The classes are a joke, a bad boring one and the advisors were a nightmare...

my one personal recommendation is to improve the Italain language program to cater to students from America especially because we do not have the luxery of experiencing bilingual practice on a regular basis.

Travel on your own at times, it allows you to meet people and learn the language to a greater extent. Don't be timid, or afraid to make mistakes while talking, always be open minded and try to immerse yourself into the culture

I wish I had realized more housing options. I though the safest thing to do was to stay in the residential hotel; however, I think I would have enjoyed an apartment more.
