“BBS has almost destroyed my career”
Abhishek
Italy, Graduate

Overall
I would not recommend Bologna business school to anyone who is considering to take Higher education like MBA .. You will be greatly disappointed. Italy has no jobs and lots of politics that can make your stay uncomfortable as far studies are concerned they are not at all upto the mark the entire course is unorganised its almost impossible a good learning. I wish I would have not choose Italy and specially BBS.

Beer is too expensive!! For food and groceries, I advise not to buy them in the center, it is much more expensive. For housing, search very well before you decide. And be careful about the house contracts!

because Bologna is one of the most expensive place to stay, according to me, but also to my italian friends, most of them coming from poor southern regions.
