Comentario personal
Before starting the courses in October, I attended an English course of one month in September at the University of Essex. This has been very useful especially for improving my spoken English with new terms but also they teached us how to organise a written project in English. Then it was fondamental to speak English everyday with my roomates and friends who were mainly foreign students and this was a great exercise for my capacity in understanding spoken English. Therefore, when I came back I had really improved my English and actually after three years I have been able to write my final project for my home university in English mainly thanks to this experience in Uk.

Costumbres personales de gasto
In general I spent more in almost every categories because the cost of life was higher than in Italy. For the housing I use to live with my family in Italy, so it has been the highest cost.

Recomendación personal
There are many aspects I recommend about this university like the good level of teaching, the geographical location and the weather itself was not rainy as expected, but most of all the human experience and the opportunity to live and study with foreign students which I think is one of the main aspect I appreciated and from which I learned new culture and a more open attitude of my character in general.

Recomendaciones de cursos
I had veri good teachers and in general the courses where structured differently from my home university where usually I attend also 6 hours for one course a week, while in the university of Essex one course consists of nearly 3 hours for week.I appreciated the closer and less formal relation with the professor in comparison to my university.

Comentario personal
In sum I think that the academic life was well organised. The structure of the courses left more space for student work.In my opinion, when there are good professors, I would have also disposed to attend more hours of a single course.

Tipo de alojamiento: En el campus
Organizado por: Universidad de intercambio
Si volviera, eligiría: En el campus
¿Por qué?
Living on campus was extremely convinient because I had easy access to classes and to the majority of services I need like library, laundry, pubs and I liked to live with foreign students from various countries.

Comentario personal
In general I consider my experience on campus a positive one. My room was of the right size and near to all the facilities of the university. A possible aspect to improve was a renewing of the building and of the common space like the kitchen. However the university had already started to restructur the oldest buildings.

Comentario personal
Usually we went to have a beer and playing some pool in one of the two pubs that were located inside the campus;in the week-end we went to dance or in the disco inside the campus or in a big one in Colchester.While on sunday evening the university organised movies.What I liked most was that the campus was inside a wonderful park, so you can make long walks as well as play many sports in the open air. Colchester is also one hour from London and in different occasions I went for the week-end or just for a daily visit. About Colchester, it is a lovely town where the main attraction is its castle of roman origins and which is located inside a nice green area.
