Commentaire personnel
During the academic sector of my stay in Italy I was being taught in English and interacted in English. In meeting local Italains and in stores, restaurants ect. I feel I became well accostomed to various phrases and words needed. When my inabitions were down I had an easier time expressing myself fully in Italian and feel I gained a good grasp of communicating to my current abilities.

As I stated before the accommodation was expensive due to the nature of the set up. Nightlife was a little high cost because I like to fully enjoy myself when out, but depending on where I chose to go I could spend quite affordably.

Commentaire personnel
I was receiving money by western Union which asseses a charge each time. Using common sense and staying away from high tourist traffic areas saves much money in the long run.

Recommandations de cours
The only recommendation that I have is with the Italain language course that was offered. I feel it could of been more intensive, I found I was learning things about the language before they were tought in class. An empahsis on conversational and colloquial words and phrases was highly overlooked.

Recommandation personnelle
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.

Commentaire personnel
Overall I found Florence to be full of great spots to find. A few of my favorites were Il Bordino a small restaurant on Via dei Strachietella, Gelateria dei Neri in the Piazzae Santa Croce. I loved the Piazza Santo Spirito with the outside markets and antique fairs.Lochness was a fun night spot as well as the William bar.

Pourquoi?
Being able to live in my own space in a foreign country is absolutely essential to my well being there. I am a very independent person and need to be in control of my situation.

Commentaire personnel
The only aspect of the accomodation that I found frustrating was the expenses of going through an agency rather than dealing with the landlord directly. Besides that the accommodations were very wonderful.
