Università degli Studi di Siena

I had the time of my life there! When you study in Siena you really have to travel through Toscana: it is sooo beautiful!!! People are very nice, food is very good,...life is good in Italy!

For clothes and shoes there is every wednesday a market in Siena. Here you find sometimes very nice and cheap things!

Before I didn't understand a word italian. The first three weeks I followed a language course and there I got to learn the basis. When the exams started I also got to learn 'economic' italian. After I returnd I think I can say that I improved a lot! Now I plan to improve my italian further, after all it's one of the most beautiful languages in the world, isn't it?!

The best restaurant from Siena (and maybe from whole Toscana) is definitely Le Logge!!! Even George Clooney ate here!! It's address is in Via del Porrione (the street were my house was too!). Also in this street you have Gallo Nero: very good food and the servants are dressed like Romans! There aren't many discothèques in Siena, because there exists a closing time. But there were busses to Il Bombo: very nice discothèque! Off course there are also plenty of nice bars! L'officina (at Piazza del Sale) is nice, especially for me, because it's from the boyfriend of a belgian girl. We spend a lot of tima at Sobb's, because here almost all the erasmus students went. (at Piazza del Mercato, first it's name was Bogart) And when you want to drink very cheap, you have to go to Il Contro! There are off course also very other nice bars in Siena, too many to describe!

The location could not have been better: 1 minute from Piazza del Campo! Only the technical aspects were sometimes disappointing. For example: we only got warm water after 3 weeks and when something was broken it took a while before it was fixed! But at that time it didn't bother me much. Typically Italy! ;-)
