Personal comments
Most of the Italians didn´t speak English, so I was almost forced to learn Italian, which was a good thing of course. At first, although, it felt difficult, but with time it became easier. I think I might have even learned more Italian if I would have lived outside the campus residence. Now I just used my English skills when interacting with other international students.

Personal comments
The rent was really high compared to the fact that it was a double room I lived in..But the facilities were pretty good and it was easier to get to know other exchange students when you lived on the campus residence.
