In the University only English is spoken, althought there is the opportunity to interact with Italians and some Germans. Italians are very nice and are happy to see any effort to speak their language.

Dépenses habituelles

Housing is more expensive in Rome than in the US. Also, because I did so many more activities (nightlife, travel) it was more expensive, althought it wouldn't have to have been.

Commentaire personnel

Eating out can be expensive, eating at pizzerias though can be quite cheap. Learn to cook (if you don't already know how) this will save you tons of money. Unless you are planning on travelling a lot don't get a rail pass. Share textbooks with another student.

Si j'avais su

Even though everyone says it is always warm in Italy, it isn't! Take a jacket, sweaters, etc. Also, Italians wear tight fitting clothes and never wear shorts or flip-flops, so if you don't want to be instantly recognized as a tourist, pack like an italian. Also, pack light, there are plenty of stores to buy stuff here.

Make sure you travel! You get three day weekends every weekend, and a weeklong break in the middle of the semester, these are great times to travel. Also, enjoy the culture in Italy without comparing it to America--it is very nice but very different.

Commentaire personnel

There's a shisha bar near S. Maria in Trastevere and a bar nearby with a foosball table that rocks. Both places are receptive to Americans (although the Shisha bar has extremely slow service). Also if you like movies but don't understand Italian the Pasquino theater on Vicolo a piedi shows English language films. The Sunday Morning flea market rocks to get all sorts of good, cheap things.

Logement

Type de logement: Appartement/maison

Organisé par: Université d'accueil

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: En famille

Pourquoi?

When all courses are taught in English, and most students speak english, it can be quite hard to learn the native language. Living with a host family would help learning the language.

Commentaire personnel

The accommodations were nice, but expensive (as all apartments in Rome are). The size wasn't bad (by Roman standards). The apartment was quite noisy despite the fact that it was not on a street. The apartment was in Trastevere, a great place to live.
