hey, so I'm from Warwick uni and coming to Catania in late September, dunno if anyone uses this! But I'm still looking for a place to stay, in case the Caracciolo residence doesn't work out. Anyone else still searching? :)

Hi there! I'm from Spain, and I will arrive to Catania August 31 (I must be there before September 1). I'm looking for a place to stay there too, but I guess I will start searching when I will arrive there, beacuse one of my program contacts is supossed to have reserved a room for me in the students residence, although I still don't know if it is open when I arrive... (I asked, but no answer yet :s )

hey! Sorry this is late....I'm in Catania now, moving into an appartment on Saturday, found one eventually and it's really nice! Did your accomodation get sorted out? Really hope so! Do you know any details about the welcome day on the 26th? Hope all is going well for you!

MA SS Napisano 14 lat temu

Hi again! Don't worry, I've been without being able to access to this page, so I've just seen your message right now. Hey, so you already have an appartment, that's cool!
There won't be any free room, right? It would be great, hehehe. I am aslo here in Catania, right now I'm staying at a student residence, but I'd like to move to a flat, but found nothing yet. If you know about any free room, please tell me.
By the way, I'm not really a Erasmus student, Im here with the Leonardo program (you heard about it?), so not sure about the welcome day, but I could check it...
See you!

Hey there!
I am already in Catania...and I am very very alone :-( I dont know what to do the whole day! What are you doing in Catania? Maybe we can meet and can do some sightseeing together or anything like this...would be great ;)
The welcome day is on 27th of september and starts at 10 o'clock in the morning at Via Tomaselli 31...if you dont still know that ;-)

MA SS Napisano 14 lat temu

Hi Vanessa!
Don't worry it was the same for me on the first days, I didn't know anybody, but in the time I've been in the students dormitory I have met lot of people!
Yeah sure, for me it's fine, I don't have any problems to meet and going sightseeing, or party, hehehe. Although probably you already know some people too, but for me is great if you want do something. This is my italian mobile number: +39 329 40 47 643, so any of you feel free to write me or call me whenever you want. Probably this weekend we will be doing something in case anyone wants to join us.
By the way, sorry to taking so much time to reply in the forum, I've just seen the message.
See you around!

Kiss Georgina Napisano 14 lat temu

Ciao!

I will spend the spring semester in Catania too :) Where should I rent a room? which part of the city is the best to live? :) my email adress is [email protected]

Lucía Bracco Napisano 14 lat temu

The best part to live in Catania is at the city center!! I do not recomend the residence Caracciolo or any residence, just because it`s far from Piazza Duomo or the city center(where all the erasmus students live and where you can find all the pubs and discos).
It's better to rent a room near Piazza Duomo, "Il Mercato", vía Humberto,Vía Etnea,near from a place very famouse called "L'Ostello Agorà",Corso Italia, Via Vittorio Emanuele.....
If you need some help just contact me, I'm not at Catania right now but I did my eramsus experiencie last year so whatever u need,I'll be here.
Good luck and enjoy yourselves at Catania,it's wonderfull specialy during April,May,June and July! =)

Kisses!

Hi there! I know the topic is quite old, but maybe someone who tried the Caracciolo residence still reads it? As far as I know, there's no contact with that residence, at least that's what I've heard :P I'm not worried yet (coming to Catania in Feb '11), but it would be soooo cool if anyone told me whether it's worth fighting (?) for a place in Caracciolo at all :)

Lucía Bracco Napisano 13 lat temu

I strongly recomend u not to stay at Caracciolo. It's far from the city center and during night there is no bus to get there! Better a flat! Have a nice erasmus experience! ;)
