A ticket from Bologna to Florence, please!

August 24, 2013 by Daniel

by Agata Bubrowiecka (Poland)

Studying Italian at a language school in Bologna is ideal for many reasons, not least because, as a major rail hub, it makes the perfect base for visiting many other wonderful Italian cities.

When I’ve finished my homework, that is!

So, today’s Saturday and I’m off to “La culla della Rinascimento”: Florence.vista

My Bologna-Florence high-speed rail ticket costs about 25 euros and the journey is less than an hour, city-center to city-center!

Florence is totally charming! I hardly know which way to look because there are so many beautiful things to see and I really don’t want to miss a thing!

My tour starts from “Piazza di Michelangelo”, a large, quiet square above the city, from which there’s an unmissable view of the old town.

From there, I head directly to the most exciting and interesting part of the city [Read more…]

7 Tips For Erasmus Students Coming To Bologna

August 16, 2013 by Daniel

Bologna has the oldest university in Europe, so for hundreds of years students from far away have been coming here to study!

These days the European Union’s Erasmus program encourages students in different member states to spend part of their college course abroad learning the language and culture of another European country.

Many choose Bologna, and why not? It’s an excellent destination for anyone, young or old, wanting to learn the Italian language and have a great time.

Bologna is famous for its  “Sotto le stelle del cinema” festival.

A summer post card from Bologna!

August 1, 2013 by Daniel

 
from Aga Midor (Poland)

Dear Mom, Dad and everyone at home,

Here’s an update on my first month in Bologna!

Week 1

Two minutes at the bus station and I’ve already met an Italian guy who wanted to help me. The stereotypes of Italian guys are true! But the atmosphere here is so friendly.

Week 2934999_10201337032484937_788944181_n

Near my school, Madrelingua, the girls from my Italian course and I discovered a cooking school, “Vecchia Scuola Bolognese”.

We also love spending time with our teacher, who knows everything about Bologna and its cultural events. [Read more…]
