Università di Bologna

Bologna never sleeps! Our favourite spot was Corto Maltese on Sunday evenings. Great atmosphere and a lot of international people!

Rooms in the city centre are quite expensive and most of the time you don't have much space. My appartment was just 10 minutes walk from the city centre and it was clean and not too expensive (250 Euro/month).

As most Italians don't speak other languages you have to speak Italian. Also among Erasmusstudents Italian is often thé language. I guess because I met a lot of Spanish people and as I don't speak Spanish and they most of the times didn't speak English, Italian was the most appropriate language. And in the end you get used to thinking in Italian and it got even quite difficult to use English after a while!

Don't stay in Bologna all the time, but take this opportunity to cross Italy from East to West, from North to South! And learn to know the many differences of this great culture!

Give parties at your appartment instead of going out in clubs! Learn to know Italian people so you can visit them and have a cheap stay in different parts of Italy!
