When you'll collect the registration document, be careful to bring with you another stamp of 16.00 € with an additional fee of 0.52 €. Don't forget to bring with you 4 passport-sized photos.

LIVING ARRANGEMENT
For your stay in Udine, you'll be placed in a single room in the “Casa dello Studente” (Student Residence). The Conservatory will provide you with all the informations about the monthly fee and a student will help you with the arrangements. The Casa dello Studente is a dormitory not far from the Conservatory where you'll be allowed to cook breakfast (for the other meals you can go to the Student Canteen in the same building), use the gym, watch TV in the TV room, practice in the music room equipped with a piano and study in the Study Hall.
If you would rather find a flat to share with other students, you can look at www.sportelloinfocasa.it. In this last case, please inform the Conservatory as soon as possible so we can cancel the booking in the Casa dello Studente and permit to another student to live there instead.

ITALIAN LANGUAGE COURSES
Some teachers can speak english, but mastering some basic Italian might be very useful to you for your studies, so you may be interested in following the courses organized by the Conservatory. For informations, ask to the secretary or to the Erasmus Staff.
THE NASE STUDENT ORGANIZATION
NASE Udine was founded in September 2013 by three students on their return from Erasmus who wanted to bring the joy and the experiences they had abroad to Udine, sharing all of this with incoming students in the Friulian city. In October 2014, after a year of hard work, NASE Udine became part of the Erasmus Student Network Italia (ESN Italia), thus turning into ESN NASE Udine.
ESN NASE Udine is intended to help incoming students to get to know, discover and to fully experience Udine and beyond. For this reason Welcome Days are being organised during each term in order to help them to acquire a better understanding of the city in which they are staying and to adjust to their new environment. Moreover, throughout the year exchange students can join trips, inside and outside the region, and many different events taking place in the city.
You can find more information and get in contact with the organization through their Facebook Page or by visiting their Official Website.
*) The Tax identification number (codice fiscale) is an individual tax identification code that is often required in Italy for all sort of procedures e.g. opening a bank account, applying for the national health service, renting a flat, applying for a fixed telephone line, etc. The tax code is issued immediately and is free of charge. The application must be made to the local tax office of the “Agenzie delle Entrate” (Italian Inland Revenue). The office is located at Via Gorghi n. 18.
