How we create the points regarding what we like/dislike about a school

Location: Centro Studi Italiani is situated in the Italian city of Genoa. Not far from the central area of the city, the school is close to the port of Genoa. The city’s main attractions are all within walking distance from Centro Studi Italiani.

Getting around: The school has a large selection of public transportation connections close to the building. There is one metro line running through the city, and the school is just over a five minute walk from the Darsena Metro Station. There are plenty of bus routes that stop close to Centro Studi Italiani, so it is possible to reach all areas of Genoa from the school.

Course selection: Centro Studi Italiani offers all levels of language courses, opera and dance programmes, arts & crafts courses (cookery, art, ceramics,etc.) and cultural tours of Italy. Centro Studi Italiani is also a partner of prestigious international universities offering academic and non-academic courses in Italy. The programmes are therefore flexible, adaptable, varied, rich and unique. Classes are intentionally small to allow students to best relate to each other while enjoying personalised and individual attention from teachers.

Additional information: There are a number of extra services available at the school that students may need to study in Italy including visa assistance, residence permit assistance, medical assistance and the Student ID.

Chain information: The Centro Studi Italiani chain of schools offers Italian courses throughout Italy in the cities of Genoa, Milan and Urbania. All schools share the ethos of providing their students with a complete language experience, which includes learning more about the Italian language but also immersing themselves in the country’s culture.
  • The language school Centro Studi Italiani was founded in Genoa, Italy in 1985.

Student opinions about Centro Studi Italiani, Genoa

Liked
I was there for 2 weeks in November/December. Therefore, the classes were very small, 2 or 3 students. The level of the class was higher than mine, but they offered me a lot of help and options to learn. I had a great and ambitious teacher who invested time and energy to answer questions. I learned a lot and could have learned more if I had invested more time and energy but Genoa is a very interesting city! You can learn in 2 weeks as much as in 6 months in evening classes as home.

The strong point of the school is the teacher Giada who did a very professional job. She was pedagogical, interactive with good methods, exercises, reviews. She managed the group and class situation very well and took into account the development needs, skills and strengths of the individuals. However, do not have experience with other teachers than Giada. Very good behaviour also with the administration.
Disliked
The venue does not match the quality in comparison to Swedish standard but the beautiful building and the location in the centre of the old town is absolutely perfect.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss The city has so much to see and if you get the 40 euro museum pass you will get to many of them. The Palazzi Rolli tour that is arranged by the school gets you into many of the places that a tourist isn't permitted.

All the teachers were friendly and excellent. I enjoyed learning from them. I liked the stepwise introduction of vocabulary and learning them in context.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Genoa is a hilly city. Take all the ascensori and funicolari to see what is up there. There's lots to discover. Do things that you normally do at home such as going to sporting clubs or swing dancing. It's a good way to meet locals, make new friends and practice your Italian. Maybe you can even do something you've not done before.

Other comments I missed a bar or meeting point on the first school day to meet all the other students from other class groups to get to know each other and not just those in my own class.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss If you are ready to study grammar for 4 hours, this school is a great choice for you. They give you home work and then just check it during the lesson. The teachers are young. Do not expect to get any books, they'll just give you printouts during the lesson. The school organized very few free activities.... to meet other students. Do not agree to live at Mura delle Cappucine 38 ... it's not really clean there and they won't prepare your room for your arrival. Ask for rooms with windows that overlook the courtyard, not the roadway.
