Buy beer and food from the Foodmarts which have offers. Cokoing a simple meal at home is very economical. Also during travel , it helps to hire a car and use tents and sleeping bags during summer travel.Great facilities to camp overnight everywhere.

Final comments
A culturally diverse place with students swarming the city. Great night life where curtural and social exchange at its best. University is also great with great facilities and faculty.The social amenities and recreational facilities are great. Rock climbers haven with Arco and other places close by. Skiers,cyclist,surfers etc have a great opprotunity to enrich and explore.At the edge of the Dolomites, presents with breathtaking views.Food and ice creams also at the very best.to travel cheap, the is this students travel organisation which takes 10 euros for membership and organises very cheap trips to amazing places like Egypt,Bali or even Mexico.An unbelieveable experience !!!!!!!!!!

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Close to the city center where ther are great parties. Lots of scope to meet international and local students.Staying in hostels good for party freaks but then the guys staying in the apartments are also invited if we know students in the hostel accomodation.Apartment gives more privacy.
