the fact of italian students being really open encouraged me to constantly improve, even if at the beginning I wasn't exactly fluid, at the end it came more easily speaking in italian than in english or even greek!

Be prepared to do written and spoken exams in italian! The teachers do not prepare special exams for ERASMUS students.

Personal comments
Compared to my University, the course in PAVIA was quite easy and with little interest. I had the best time of my life in Pavia but, I did not learn much. One of my favourites courses was: Economia Regionale but, it was very "italian specific".
