Student review [#5502]
at University of Udine - Uniud

My University is installed in a not so big city with almost 160 000 inhabitants, of which the 10% is part of the University Students’ Community. The city is quite and really historical. There are many museums and historical places to visit. The University has some seats around the city and it is focused on the Business and Economics’, Juridical, Literacy, Engineering, Information Technology, Mathematics and Physics and Medical Faculties. There are many opportunities for the students from an economic point of view, as there is an entity that provides some students’ grants, a campus with many single rooms and some double rooms. There are some good cheap restaurants and pizzerias next to the faculties, bars and very good canteens that sell cheap meals. The university itself has many students from abroad and some associations and organizations, among which AEGEE-Udine, that take care of the students from abroad and that give you the opportunity of having not only academic skills and competences but also soft skills and competencies that can be learnt or improved only in an international and non-academic context. Thanks to the University of Udine, AEGEE-Udine is able, through 150 young students and volunteers, to involve many other students’ in local activities targeted for the youngsters of the city and for all the students of the University. One of the reasons why the University of Udine finances associations such as AEGEE is because it recognizes the added value that such organizations bring to the young volunteers involved and to the university community, in terms of skills, such as Public Speaking, Project Management, Team Management, Leadership, Personal Development and many others. The association has an office in the University and it helps the new students to integrate and develop themselves in a very broad environment. The University of Udine is one of the few Italian Universities with English courses, especially at the Master Degree Level and with an approach not only theoretical but also practical. The University of Udine is considered one of the best ones in Italy and it is next to Venezia (Venice), one of the most famous Italian cities in the world.
