An experience in Turin, Italy by Marta

Turin is an easy city to live in, there are lots of students, and of foreigners as well. I would definitely recommend it, it's a big historic city, with lots of museums.

What's the student atmosphere like in Turin?

There's a friendly, family-like atmosphere, even if it is a bit all over the place. The professors are very skilled and available for you. There are lots of libraries and rooms to study in.

It's a little less expensive than in Lyon, for example a room in the centre would cost about 400 euros.

No, there are lots of sites to help you find accommodation.

Sakura if you want Japanese, the Divin Panino for a quick meal, otherwise in the centre there are lots of choice.

Don't be discouraged if the University seems a bit disorganised and don't be scared to ask whoever is in charge of Erasmus students as many questions as you want.

Pay attention to thieves, especially on the bus.
