The "Nations" network were the best places to attend for the day and night life: during the day warm and very nice cafes; during the night very funny disco-bar with plenty of students. The perfect places to meet people.

Overall
I wish I had known...
The importance of arriving at the beginning of the term (I arrived 3 weeks later for an exam in Italy): it was the best period to start knowing the University and the other students.
The too high cost for particular things, common in Italy but very hard or expensive to find there.

Try to learn the local language as much as you can: it will help you to understand the culture, the people and it's a base in learning new languages.

Personal comments
Very positive comment! I had the opportunity to speal avery day English with people coming from all around the world and to study a new language (Swedish). The lessons, the study and the groupwork allowed me to get confindent with lots of Business words and phrases.
Furthermore, the presentations: each group had to present each own work and results to the class and it was a very challenging experience ('cause it was the first time I've done it..and I've done it in English).
