Universita degli Studi di Verona

Ate out very often indeed: eating out much cheaper than at home so you do it more, so you spend a lot. Didn't buy a mobile phone because even basic models were too expensive. However, would have been beneficial for being more integrated with other Erasmus students... Accomodation SHOULD have been cheaper in Italy but we were unlucky. Most students were paying half what we paid. Drinks weren't much cheaper than home, same with clubs but going out most nights because of the Erasmus life style is very expensive. Italy is an amazing country and spending extra on travelling and seeing as much as possible had to be done. However, train travel costs about a third of the price of that in Britain! Overall, Italy is amazingly good value for a British person but living there for nine months and enjoying all of the above to excess means it is far more expensive than being a student in England.

International students tend to take classes with Prof. Tondini and Baccarani, because they are known to be kind to erasmus!

I found the courses to be very theory based so can get a bit boring. More practical courses would be better.

basically because london is so expensive compared to anywhere else
