University of Ioannina - UOI (reviews)

My university is inside a ” campus” and even tho there is a lot of beaury in the trees that surround it, the buildings are very outdated, graffities everywhere and not the creative kind. I am satisfied with the teachers and the classes, I’m a freshmen and I am not sure but i think they are doing a great job, minus some teachers that don’t even APPEAR to the lessons and leave them to a substitute teachers. Sorry for my English, it’s my second language!!! But there is a chance that my university can be merged with another university, causing our degree to lose more of it’s value. We have to get masters in my country( for my major which is preschool education) because we can’t claim a job, due to the competition.

UOI gave me the opportunity to grow as a person and as a researcher. I graduated as an archaeologist and despite the fact that the programme itself was lacking, I can say that the communication with certain professors gave me the chance to study hard in order for me to achieve my goals and also created for me opportunities for collaboration with many excavating projects. I can say that all the pros outshine the cons of the lacking at the professor facility or even at the programma itself.

I had spent four lovely years in the University of Ioannina. Despite it is located in a small city, the city offers a good college life. The university gives great education and many opportunities for the futures.

Overall the level of the students and the studies programmes are quite high; you really get the chance to immerse yourself in the topic of the studies and learn a lot, not just touching the surface. Some of the professors will give you a chance to work closer to them, but you need to show them also the will. The campus is beautiful, but full of dogs and the facilities are sometime not the best. The student restaurant/caffeterias are very nice and they have quality food. The university itself is a 20 minutes from the city center, which on one hand creates an appropriate environment for the university to be a community and not gather random people/outsiders as other Greek universities located in the city center, but transportation is bit tough after midnight until early morning as it counts only on public buses and taxis. It’s next to the university hospital and they’re a lot of student clubs and teams in the university, such as AEGEE-Ioannina which are really cool. The city is a pure student city, very alive in the winter.
