Another point to note is that the international students are “treated very well and the level of guidance and help is really high.” So, that’s a really motivational feedback, if any international students want to study here.

There are also a lot of courses for any kind of background. Università di Genova is also considered a very friendly place.

 

Università di Pisa’s Positives

 

Similar in line to the positives that were already covered, it seems like the students really love how competent the professors are in their teaching subjects. They also seem to like the fact that they offer detailed and high-level programs. The fact that the setting of the courses is very theoretical and in-depth is also really valued.

Another positive is the fact that the students can also do internships based on their own interest level is also really admired by the students.

Additionally, students also seem to like the library which houses a lot of informational books and side readings.

UniGe’s Downfalls

 

There seem to be many comments on UniGe’s downfalls. The main subject that runs through all the comments is that the theoretical teaching practices are a bit archaic and the University should experiment a little more with practical learnings. One student says, “It’s a theoretical University, it could be better with laboratories, and more practical experience.” Another point in line with practical studies is the fact that there should be a traineeship course so that the students get a more practical idea of what’s out there in the real world as a parallel to the theoretical subjects they are being taught.

Another point raised by students is that the exam programs are not that great. They could be more in tune with what’s being taught.

Università di Pisa’s Downfalls

Another theme that runs common between Università di Pisa’s and UniGe is the lack of practical knowledge in both the Universities. Some say that the education here in not in line with the real world. The University faculty seems to be a bit detached from practical knowledge. Also, the enormous number of exams seems to be unjustified, as a lot of them are purely theoretical.

Some students go on to point out that though the libraries are well stocked, they could certainly be bigger to cater to all the students of the University.

One student also comments that it’s easy to find good accommodation near the University, which makes a really great point for prospective students.

There seems to be a lot of similarities between both the Italian Universities as you can see. If you are a student at any of these Universities, please do keep adding your comments on EDUopinions; it might help people when choosing Universities!
