I was wondering if anyone studied in either the Università per Stranieri di Perugia or the Università per Stranieri di Siena, and can tell me what it's like?
Or just some info about studying Italian in Italy in General would be nice. I want to go next year for a trimester, probably to Siena, but I don't know yet. Edited by Tally on 15 April 2010 at 10:02pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Shame this because I was interested in the same topic! I love Italy and would love to study there. How much info do you have about the two institutions you mentioned?

I haven't studied at either university, but I can tell you from the time that I spent in Siena that I got the feeling that there were a lot of foreign students studying Italian as well as other subjects there. (I've never been to Perugia.) I would probably choose a different city to study in. I studied at La Sapienza in Rome for a year, which was a great experience. Obviously Rome has a lot going for it as a city, but I also enjoyed taking the same classes that Italians take. I don't know if there are many exchange programs that provide the same experience.

Well I just read around in the internet, and somehow (no idea how) I found in my house an Italian book from the university in Perguia. I looked into the two schools and they look reasonably good, but I wish I had some info from someone who went there. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Really? I would have thought that Siena had less foreign students then Rome... Tell me a little about your experience studying there :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry for the long delay in responding.
I am not sure if there are more foreign students in Siena or not it's just that Siena is so much smaller than Rome. I loved studying in Rome. I was in a program that housed students in Italian dorms so we had a full immersion experience. There were no other exchange students except the 10 or so of us in the program. (The program no longer does this. I think they house students in private apartments now.) We ate in the cafeteria every day with Italians and socialized with them. The academic side was also a little unusual since we took classes at the university La Sapienza instead of taking classes taught to foreigners. I can't think of any negative aspects to the experience. It was really a great time. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Nope. But I've got an exam from Università per Stragnieri in Perugia. Never set foot there, though. 1 person has voted this message useful |
