Personal comments
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

Maybe the professor could make a book of there course or at least a summary, because some of them hust begin to teach in Italian without anything for the student to rely on (difficult for a foreign student who doesn't speak the language that well)
