Hannah Wakely is studying French and Italian at the University of Salford. She spent the first half of her year abroad studying in Forlì to fulfil the Italian quota and is spending the second half in a small town in Brittany teaching in a collège lycée. Hannah didn’t have many options for studying in Italy as the Italian department at Salford is so small, but she chose the Forlì campus of the University of Bologna because she wanted to be in the north and it has a great reputation for languages. Here's her advice for other students moving to Forlì for their year abroad...
Bologna, home city to the famous "spag bol" (ragù in these parts), has as of yet never really been prone to floods of tourists. As such, the city known for its food (and boy, is it good here!), student demonstrations and political activities is well worth staying put in. You'll struggle to hear any English, improving your Italian and your understanding of the country as a whole. Because Bologna doesn't just give its name to the classic Italian dish, restaurants literally climb on top of one another, offering you the very best in Italian cuisine.
