“Let me try a little bit of everything”
Amber H
United States,
Marketing and Sales Management, 2021
OverallI was not sure of what I wanted to do. So I tried out anthropology, design, architecture, and journalism. I finally landed in marketing. The school had a lot to offer but I do wish that there weren't so many mandatory classes that took away from me trying out more courses which could have led me to my path sooner.

Personal spending habits
The housing and food were included in the tuiton. However, after consistently eating similar meals, I diverted to restaurants in the proximity. Also, when traveling to other countries, I spent a significant amount of money on food and housing.

Personal comments
Paderno del Grappa is a very small town. The students usually went to a bar located down the street called "La Piazza". There was a nice Pizzeria a little further down called La Orchidea. We are an hour by train from Venice so when we had time off from school that where we went.

Personal comments
I don't believe that the exams were fair assessments of students' knowledge. Professors should be sensitive to the fact that we are in a different environment and attempt to seek alternative teaching techniques.

Personal comments
The housing was sufficient to a certain extent. I had a roommate, but wish that I could have got a single room. However, we had maids that cleaned the rooms twice a week.

Final comments
The closes train station is 25 minutes away, which incurs another cost (taxi) when you want to travel by train. As with most countries within Europe, travel is relatively cheap. It is important however to keep a close watch on your funds and how the exchange rate affects your spending.
