Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Our accommodation was good, but some students found the hostel accomodation a bit cramped. Most students very focussed on learning. Bologna was very humid in July.
Other comments
There were no weekend activities during our 3-week stay, which was unfortunate.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Bologna is empty in August (like most italian cities) so if possible, book for a course during another month.

The school is amazing. I only regret that I chose to attend afternoon classes since some special activities such as conversational classes, phonetics which were organized and I couldn't go there.
Other comments
Host family : the lady was so sweet, but wasn't a cordon bleu. And I slept in a very bad bed, in an italian council flat with direct views to the railway and with noise associated at 5 am, 20 minutes by bus to the school: it wasn't really the accomodation I was dreaming of.

the teachers and the classes are very good and I made a lot of progress even though I was already in the advanced level and also the Bilbo house residence is very comfortable and nice.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
It's very good to have a bicycle in this city because the school and Bilbohouse arent that close to the center, about 20-30 minutes on foot.
