Personal comments

It was nothing special but I liked it because it was hosting a lot of nice guys. I didn't care too much about the size of the room or how many people were using the same kitchen because I was going to be there only for a few months and I could stand not perfect conditions for that period.

Personal spending habits

I spent more for the food because I didn't always have the opportunity to use the kitchen so I had to eat somewhere outside. I spent more for the nightlife because I met so many people that I had to go out almost every night, even only for a few hours. The housing was really less expensive than in Italy and I was calling only my parents and friends in Italy: I was meeting my friends there in the campus or at the university.

Food, Nightlife:

was more expensive than at home.

Personal comments

At first it was pretty hard, due to the fact that I studied French when I was at primary school and then I kept studying only English. Even if my mathertongue language is very close to French, I had to study hard to improve my level in order to be able to fully integrate in the local culture and to understand the whole lifestyle.
