The exchange experience in Italy worths. Specialy, it's an oportunity to visit this museum in the open air. Then, it's a way to improve your comunications skills, and to prove yourself that you are flexible, able to adapt to different situations, independent.

If you are going to travel a lot within Italy on the trains, buy a Carte Verde, this is a discount card which allows a 20% discount on all rail journeys for 1 year.

Personal comments
Camelot: English/Irish pub which definitely doesn't remind you of either of those countries! Cool music, wicked atmosphere.
Nirvana: just off from Piazza Bra, left off Via Porta Nuova (down some steps). Try a "Black out" and you won't remember a thing...
Highlander: rubbish pub but only place you can get anything resembling a fry-up for nursing the hangover you'll get after Camelot & Nirvana.
Grace: cheeeesy nightclub.
Campus: student central. Nice cheap, strong drinks.
Veccia Veronetta:Just don't use the toilet there. Ever.
Tropico Latino: The cocktails are amazing and lots of Erasmus people, mainly German, went there on Mondays.
Bottega (Vino): Expensive restaurant with extremely posh wines and snotty waiters. Very, very nice indeed.
Campodoglio: Big bar off Piazza Erbe which also has amazing cocktails. Go for a quiet drink.
Pomod'oro: Pizzeria/restaurant which had a cool atmosphere and lush pizzas, good for bringing large groups.
