Erasmus Experience in Genoa, Italy by María José


Why did you choose to go to Genoa, Italy?

I chose Genoa because it was the university that gave me the most subject options for the last year of my course, besides the location lets you go on a lot of trips to explore other places.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

My Erasmus was only for one term (from September to February) and they gave me about €2, 500.

Was it difficult to find accommodation in Genoa?

Yes, in the beginning, it's difficult to find a flat, so my friends and I looked for a flats online before coming to spend a few days running around Genoa in search of a flat. It was difficult to get them to rent you a flat just for one term, but, in the end, we found one about 10 minutes away from our faculty and from the centre.

How much does it cost to live in Genoa?

It's more expensive than Spain, although I think that it makes a difference being in the north of Italy, it seems to be one of the most expensive parts of the country to live in.

Is the language easy to get to grips with? Are there language courses available at the University?

I was giving classes at my university, although you still have to take a test when you get there and then you have to take classes according to your level.

What's the easiest or most economical way to travel to Genoa from your home city?

The cheapest way to get there from Huelva is to fly from Seville to Milan (Bergamo or Malpensa airport) and from there you take a train to Genoa, which doesn't normally take more than an hour and a half, and if you buy your train ticket in advance, it won't be more than €9.

Where would you recommend for a night out in Genoa?

Moretti and Banano.
