Student review [#80669] for Language Sciences
at Ca'Foscari University Of Venice

Studying at Ca’ Foscari has been an enriching experience for me for several reasons.
First, I think that Venice itself offers a unique and beautiful environment. The city is rich in places to spend your free time like museums, cultural events, cafes and bars, scenic walks, and you also have the option to visit more calm places like Lido or the Giardini. There’s always something to discover, and with student discounts, museum visits are affordable. In the summer Venice can become very crowded but I believe you quickly adapt, learning to find hidden pathways and navigate the busy streets.
Academically, I appreciate the opportunity to take courses in both English and Italian. This allows me to improve my Italian and also gives me flexibility in my learning experience. However, I recognize that for those who don’t speak Italian, the selection of courses may feel somewhat limited.
The university is very good in fostering cultural engagement. The faculty organizes numerous literary events, and I particularly enjoyed the Incroci di Civiltà festival but there were many others organized by professors who I took courses with. I also think that with the amount of students from abroad it creates an overall very international atmosphere at the university.
Additionally, the intimate class sizes create a welcoming atmosphere where it’s easy to connect with classmates and professors. The smaller setting promotes close collaboration and meaningful interactions, which improved my learning experience.
Beyond academics, Ca’ Foscari encourages students to explore interests outside their studies. I took part in extracurricular activities, including working with the student radio, which was a good way to meet new people and broaden my horizons beyond my general study course.
Overall, my time at Ca’ Foscari has been both academically rewarding and personally enriching, thanks to the vibrant setting of Venice, engaging courses, and opportunities for cultural and extracurricular involvement.
If you are looking for a unique and culturally very rich experience I would recommend you to study at the university.
