Academic
Course recommendations
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.

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

Housing
Type of housing: double room in rented flat
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
In siena it is recommended to go there by car or rent one. Outside town rents are a lot lower and you can choose from different good houses
