Costumbres personales de gasto
First of all, the exchange rate at the time was still favorable for the US Dollar. But in a small town in Italy, food and housing just cost less than in the States; to be fair, of course, I was equipped with very modest housing in Siena. Transportation is much more well developped, so travel was so much cheaper and more practical, it's almost silly.

Comentario personal
No significant surprises, really. Try to save any major traveling for the end of the trip, when you can visit the friends you've made in their homes. Thus, you can embark upon the "trip-of-a-lifetime," and spend a minimal amount of funds.

Recomendaciones de cursos
The teachers are sometimes unavailable and self-absorbed, and don't be surprised if you have to wait literally for hours to take an exam. But I liked the way subjects were taught. The approach is highly analytical and critical, and students are encouraged to think and make judgements for themselves, and to participate in class.

I don't like the system of having just one exam/project at the end of the course, with no coursework before that.

Recomendación personal
I reccomend it very highly. Siena is small, and the university thrives. It's the perfect place to study and meet people from all over. Every day/night is a new adventure! Word to the wise: the Sienese are a fiercely proud and belligerent people. Watch yourself and be respectful where the situaiton requires it.

Comentarios finales
If you're ever stressed (the town can make you feel "closed in" from time to time), take a couple days and go by yourself o Assisi. Perfect place to get away!

Comentario personal
I spent a number of years as a child in Italy, Italian is very close to a mother tongue for me. I speak Roman dialect. No-one ever knows I'm American until I tell them.

Alojamiento
Tipo de alojamiento: En el campus
Organizado por: Universidad de intercambio
Si volviera, eligiría: Piso o apartamento
¿Por qué?
The residenze universitarie enforced strict curfews which didn't mesh well with the lifestyles of carefree "erasmus" and study abroad students, therefore some of us ran into some trouble along the way. Furthermore., my last month in Siena, I moved out to a private apartment, and it's a much better way to feel like you're actually, independently, a part of the society.

Comentario personal
The housing was good enough, the prices were very reasonable, the facilities comfortable, and the locations very desirable. In any case, student housing is a great place to start in Siena, even if it is one's intention to eventually move elsewhere during one's stay.

The spot to go, for all the international students, is L'Incontro, right off Piazza del Campo. Great panini, cheap beer, friendly staff. Ask for Saro.
