Personal recommendation
the university itself wasn't up to par as far as instruction, but if you're not as serious about academics as about learning about the italian way of life, siena is an incredible place to study.

Final comments
siena often gets overlooked when folks travel to italy and therefore it has remained fairly unpopulated by tourists and mostly unaffected by commercialism. please don't miss out on siena's richness in art and history, but please also don't divulge its secrets to those unwilling to understand its uniqueness.

I highly recommend a smaller class. There were too many students in one class and so, it was not easy to speak a lot.

1. Eat at the school cafeteria, if you want to save moeny.
2. Travel by train to other cities, Italy is beautiful.
3. Speak italian all the times. The local people are very happy to see you speaking their language.
4. I highly recommend a weekend trip to Rome. From Siena, there are frequent shuttle buses. It is about 3 hour ride.

In Italy, nothing functions without problems. Be prepared for bumps along the way, all the time.

CET Academic programs could do a better job of integrating students with the Università per Stranieri di Siena students as well as with the regular Università di Siena students.

Pack light. People told me to pack light prior to going and I thought I did, but I ended up buying a lot of things in Europe and had to ship my other stuff back home.

No. People from Tuscany are above all quite difficult at the beginning to understand and to "approach".
