Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)

as i said apart from food life is less expensive, at least than Milan

tip: since in the US you need to be 21 to drink and 18 to purchase cigarettes, people at clubs and in shops will card you if you buy such items. If you dont wanna carry your passport with you the whole time and risk losing it, you can go to the DMV with a few documents and get an Virginia ID issued. Also, the food at the dining hall, at least for italian standards, isnt good. I did a lot of cooking which was a great bonding experience and a great mean of cultural exchange with my international friends!

I had no problem to begin with but teachers and americans in general are amazingly understanding of your language difficulties. They make you feel very cherished and at ease

Though the hygenic status of the place wasn't the best (our roomates werent too clean and on top of that the place was fumigated once or twice due to a colony of cockroaches) it was surprisingly great: it gives you the possibility to befriend other international students and the apartments in GRC are small but all in all not bad

every night has its hotspot: Tobacco Company on friday night, then Richbrau, bandito's, Have a nice day cafè...and all the frat parties of course. Also lots of cute pubs around GRC like Mojo's and Roxy
