“Good University in italy, one of the best italian uni”
anonymous

There are a lot of LAB, they teach you a lot of things that you do the day after in a company.
The financial courses are very interesting.
We study a lot but if you have the teachers passion to do difficult thing you can do anything.

All the classes were in english, so I really did not have any difficulties. Even though english is not my native language I am used to classes in english from my home university. And also I got the chance to improve my english in forms of vocabulary and pronunciation and so on...which is of course very useful!

Was the first time I took courses in other lenguage than spanish, the everyday communication with friends, roomates, teachers and students was a factor that pushes you to learn and improve the lenguage.
You must use all the knowledge you have adquired in that lenguage in order to fit inside the academic life.

The native studentes with international experience (former Erasmus-students) were fantastic. Without them this experience would never have been the same!!
