I refer to the last 2 posts. This in my opinion, is a very sad and devious way of replying to a perfectly honest question from someone going to study in Perugia. Unfortunately recommending a book about Amanda Knox is not the way to go! Having lived and known Perugia for 15 years may I suggest enough is enough as far as this subject goes. Anyone with any sense will not be influenced by this well publicised tragedy.
This book will give you a very strong idea of what it is like studying Italian in Perugia.Straddling the Borders. The year I grew up in Italy. Martha T. CummingsAlthough the American author sets her story quite a few years ago it still paints a fairly accurate picture. Perhaps the best advice was to change your class teacher if you do not feel you are getting what you want from studying Italian and the importance of making friends. She studied at Universita' per StranieriThe book is not particularly well written but it's worth searching for a second-hand copy on Amazon. I am sure it will you offer more than a flavour of being a language student in Perugia.
