good food (fresh veggies, lean chicken etc) is really expensive. the exchange program tho gave me housing and a total coverage at the dining center for a pretty small sum of money which balanced it out. And calling home wasnt a problem thanks to skype

as i said apart from food life is less expensive, at least than Milan
If you can, take the senior ones, with less students and therefore better teacher/pupil interaction, which is seriously the best part of the experience
Nope, it's great to get accustomed as you go along!

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!
Apprendre le Anglais fut un élément important de la décision?

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
Activités: A lieu principalement à la fac et/ou entre les étudiants
