Course recommendations
I'm not ready yet to give such a kind of advice. I've been said by some italian students that interaction with teachers could be better, beacause normally they explain and students listen and take their notes. That's no bad at all but in Spain I find it's important that students can ask or add anything they want, whenever they want.

Personal comments
I've arrived this week to Padua so I'm not completely used to the italian language yet. But I've realised It's not so difficult as I thought it would be (perhaps because I'm spanish and both languages are similar). Anyway I hope to improve my italian still a lot, so I will start next week a course for it.

Final comments
Despite burocracy steps are a bit boring italian people in the places where the students have to go are very comprehensive and gentle. I'm glad to be here and hope to learn as much as possible in every aspect. I also would like to find a job to help my mother cost my year abroad.

First of all, Italy is a more expensive country than Spain, but also we must practically start a new life here, and expense some money on things that we already have in our home countries.

Personal comments
I'm quite surprised with my residence, really very happy. It's located a bit far from the center and my facultie but it offers so many facilities that everything is in balance. Also, there is agood combination of buses you can use for going to the city. The rooms are pretty good, they are all single ones, with its own bathrooms and toilets. And there are other facilities as a Computer sale, the laundry or a Kitchen shared by all the students. Finally I find as important thing the fact that you've got your own key, even of the front door, so you can come in whenever you want.
