The medium rent payment is about 250 euros per month. The transport are not so cheap but there are a lot of facilitations for students.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

The food is great. You can find the tipical Sardinian cuisine but also the international one. I suggest "malloreddus alla campidanese", a tipical hand-made kind of short-pasta, seasoned with meat sauce. The meat it's awesome: I suggest roasted lamb or pork. In the end, obvioulsy the "sebada", an hand-made fried desert with cheese and honey inside. You are going to love everything!
