Course recommendations
if you are lucky, you can find a prof who appreciates having erasmus students in his/her course. as a result they treat you good during the exams! so don't be shy and present yourself to your prof right at the beginning. then he knows that your italian isn't that perfect, which avoids embarrassing questions during the course.

Personal comments
it was quite unusual for me having an oral exam with 20 other students listening behind my back, but this is the italian system. i didn't like the library, because you don't have direct access to the books, you have to order them.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
There is no campus at Verona and a flat gives you the freedom that you wouldn't get in a family. A flat share with Italian students allows you to improve your language skills, and even if you live with other english speakers the chances for talking italian are so great that it is not a problem.

Personal comments
As my flat was found independently through an agency I don't know much about accomodation. The ESN here are very helpful at the beginning of the year I believe, but by the time we came in February there was little available.

Personal recommendation
Some of my friends had their placement at other universities in Italy and although they had a reasonably good time, they weren't totally satisfied. I however, had an amazing time and I honestly can't think of a bad thing to say about the year I spent in Verona. This was all thanks to the ASE group who made everyone feel welcome and they really looked after us. Had it not been for them, my experience would have been totally different and could have turned out like that of my friends. A big thanks to the ASE in Verona who gave us all a fantastic year that we'll never forget.

During my experience abroad, I ...
(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
As I mentioned before, if you can get out there a bit earlier to find accomodation then it'll be worth it, as you may end up having to share a room or spend loads of money on rent. You'll make your friends in the first few weeks so make sure you attend all the social events. Any problems, go to the ASE office as they'll be more than willing to help.

Personal comments
italians really help to learn the language! if you ask they mainly try to speak slowlier and without dialect. as i also spent 8 months in france, where the french weren't that helpfull, i really appreciated that point. however, if there are any problems with the administration etc., you can always ask somebody of ase for help, they speak english, spanish aso.

If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Great way to meet other international and Italain students. Therefore it is a great way to improve your ability of the italian language. On campus was also cheaper than renting an appartment and the facilities were excellent.
