Why?
I think that living in my own house, as I did, was the best solution. In fact, even if I decided to join an University in England I am Italian and so in Italy I lived at home. While in the Uk I stayed on the University campus for the first year and I rent a house the following years.

Brighton is an amazing place, full of great clubs and pubs! Especially I loved chilling on the beach with my friends!Turin is great to go skiing because is so close to the mountains and is also full of very nice restaurants where you can enjoy Italian cousine!

As I am Italian I had not difficulties with the language in Turin but for and native English speaker I guess studying at the Politecnico of Tuirn could be very demanding.

Personal comments
I just graduated in European Business with technology and Produzione Industriale, a project of double degree thought by the European Union. So I joined an English University and I spent one semester in Italy and one in the UK every year for four years. It has been an amazing experience as I had the chance to study in an international environment with students from all over the world.
