Università degli Studi di Pavia

Bars. Pavia had good bars where we would go by night or doing "l'apperitivo": Safará, Broadway, Porta Nuova... and the open air discos like Molino della Frega. very good!

Pretty good for a short experience as mine was. But I would try to find an apartment if I had to stay longer since in "Collegio" I had to share my room. The lack of privacy is a huge disadvantage if you have other habits than your room mate. Besides that I missed having a kitchen! Eating in canteen everyday isn't so healthy and going to restaurants a pretty expensive solution. All the rest was cool. Specially the place itself: very beautiful and very well located. And the girls were very nice (it was a girls residence).

I really enjoyed learning italian. I just love the ability to communicate so learning another language was wonderfull. I had the opportunity to read a lot, go to theatre, movies... It felt really good broked the language barrier and finally felt tottaly integrated. I eaven had the opportunity to learn the different accents for each region.

None. I knew I would spend more in Italy.

I loved my experience. But I found Pavia a very "bourjois" town where not everybody can live well. From canteen meals to nightlife, everything is expensive wich makes people stay home. Despite the University, Pavia isn't the university town I would imagine. But "l'Italia è bella"! and I had the opportunity to travel a lot and get to know it well and just loved every little detail. In the end, I would have done it all the same!
