Overall
The University of Bologna is one of the most relevant university of Italy. It has a very long history filled by important names and events since the Middle Ages. It has a big variety of courses and classes, it has a big campus and new initiatives all the time. The level of teaching and learning is definitively high.
I'm so happy of my choice.
