Personal comments
rooms were a bit too small for 2 persons, and there wasn't any a/c or fans, so they got desparately hot at night.

Was learning Italian a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
Good language courses at the Università per Stranieri, especially for ERASMUS students. Moreover possibility to have a "Tandem" partner. There is also an advantage if you live with Italians in a flat.

Personal comments
Cost-saving tip # 1: drink lots of coffee (cafe) at the bar, not the tables.
Also, food in the restaurants is only slightly more expensive than the mensa, so take advantage and eat out once in a while...the experience is a great value!
