And it makes a great stepping point for a larger backpacking trip around Europe.
Italy universities and campuses
Heading to Italy to study isn’t as difficult as you may assume. You can choose to study in Italian, but more and more classes are being taught in English, so there’s always that option too. Italy is home to not only some top ranking universities in the world; University of Padua, Vita- Salute San Raffaele University, plus Pisa’s Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies and Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. It’s also home to the oldest university in the world, the University of Bologna.
Italian lifestyle and culture
The lifestyle in Italy may seem very different to that of Australian. The language difference, of course may be a huge barrier, especially if you don’t speak the language too fluently. But you’ll also notice amongst the locals a strong sense of community and spending time with friends and family. Typically over a huge amount of food. Art and coffee (much like Australia) is also a pretty big deal in day to day life too.
Exploring Italy on a student budget
Italy is one of those European destinations that can be travelled easily on a budget. There’s a great hostel culture in the country, so cheap accommodation is easy to find.
