cafe teatro: impossible to miss. Of course. The spots were not so hot, but the people made all the diference. Thank you Italy. Campobasso: even if small, a big city.

Personal comments
This was a small university, and with very few erasmus students. The contact with other students and teachers was extremely interesting. We had an italian course in order to learn some more about italian language and culture. I think this contact with diferent methods and disciplines was very positive for my education and made me grow both personal and as a student.

Personal recommendation
Improve the services wich are responsable for all the arrangements to erasmus students: finding house, get documents... Someone that can be help us when we don't know what to do, get ill or other similar situations. In our case, it was a not very positive experience.

honestly, it was one of the best parts of the international experience. Because it is a latin language such as portuguese, it was not very dificult to learn. I guess I did it pretty well.
