Università degli Studi di Pavia

You will have fun for sure! Go and be an open-minded person. Meet students, locals, everyone! And keep in touch with your new friends when you leave because you will want to meet them again!

The first thing I did when I arrived at Pavia was an italian exam (written and spoken). I was put on a class from the first level. I liked very much my teacher and I had italian lessons during all 6 months. And, as most of the people (locals) did not speak english, I really had to improve my italian! When I left Pavia, I was feeling very confortable with the language.

In order to save money, I made almost all meals at home, cooking. I avoided restaurants but, from time to time I went to the University Cantine.

I stayed in an apartment with only one room. When I arrived, we were 4 students living there. 3 in the room and the other one in the dining room. The apartment was very small and we had some problems with the neighbors, who where tired of some many foreign people arriving and leaving. Finally, I had to go to the police office because the man who was renting us the apartment was not his owner and wanted to know details from us. It was not easy!

I don't remeber the names anymore but, the best places where in the city centre.
