That its almost impossible to pay with a card in smaller shops. Easier to deal with cash.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I loved it, but you should definitely know that most of the things, problems in the university you have to solve by yourself. Sometimes, there were changes in the schedule of the courses, and no notification about it.
But professors are really friendly, and helpful.

Final comments
It was really a great experience! If you decide to go, don´t interact only with other Erasmus people, but try to get to know the local students as well. That way instead of improving your english you will learn italian ;) And you have the chance to get to know the Real Italy!

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: with other Erasmus people
Why?
Definitely easier to live in the same apartment with students that are in the same situation. Lifestyyle is quite different from the "usual" students´ one.
