What are the tutors like?

My coordinator was really kind, I reaceive all answers into necessary questions.

Are the lessons easy in University of Turin?

I think, the only, but quite serious disadvantage of University of Turin is that all my lessons were in italian. Thus, basically, I couldn't participate in lessons, because I wasn't able to understand italian. However, it taught me how to be more independent and how to prepare to the exams by my self. I made an agreement with professors, in the begining of Erasmus, to take all the exams in english. I asked them bibliography and accurate course program that I need to know in order to prepare to the exams properly. So, in the end of spring semester I passed all my exams successfully.

There is no doubt that I had aextremely good experience, I improved my English and even started to learn Italian! I found a lot of friends from all over the world, I became more independent and responsible for myself. I visited lot of cities in Italy and France. But the most important thing is that I was happy there as never before!
