Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The residenze universitarie enforced strict curfews which didn't mesh well with the lifestyles of carefree "erasmus" and study abroad students, therefore some of us ran into some trouble along the way. Furthermore., my last month in Siena, I moved out to a private apartment, and it's a much better way to feel like you're actually, independently, a part of the society.

Personal comments
The housing was good enough, the prices were very reasonable, the facilities comfortable, and the locations very desirable. In any case, student housing is a great place to start in Siena, even if it is one's intention to eventually move elsewhere during one's stay.

I lived in a house with 20 persons from all nationalities. This way, I really got to know the cultural differences between European countries. And I made friends for life!

The location could not have been better: 1 minute from Piazza del Campo! Only the technical aspects were sometimes disappointing. For example: we only got warm water after 3 weeks and when something was broken it took a while before it was fixed! But at that time it didn't bother me much. Typically Italy! ;-)

Siena is small and has a lot of students, together with the italian mentality (mot a lot of organization) it wasn't easy to find the right place to stay...but never give up in Italy and you will get what you are looking for

rooms were a bit too small for 2 persons, and there wasn't any a/c or fans, so they got desparately hot at night.
