Personal comments
See above. The Spadolini residence, which is open to graduate students is a good 10 minute walk through a deserted part of town and a park. Ovrenight guests are not allowed, suites of rooms have no decent common area and there are no freezers in the kitchens. On the plus side, the balconies are nice.

Because the course is taught in English and my roommates speak English, I didn't learn as much as I should have. Of course, this is my fault and not a reflection on the country or the school.
