Student review [#85941] for Foreign Languages and Literature
at L'Orientale University of Naples - Unior

I graduated on March 2023 in Comparative Languages and Literatures (English and Mandarin Chinese). Unfortunately, I had the chance to live life at university only for six months, from September 2019 to February 2020, which was the month we entered into quarantine and classes continued online until 2022. At the University of Naples L’Orientale, the majority of teachers is great: they are very prepared and passionate about the subject they teach and highly well-formed, however the conditions of classes and courses are outrageous. Often the chairs in classes are not enough for the students, forcing them to sit on the floor throughout the whole lesson. Some courses of the same year co-exist, therefore the student needs to choose which one to follow. Administration hardly every answers to the e-mails, and courses take places in different buildings located in the center of Naples lowkey far from each other. Moving through the city to reach the various building in is very challenging: when you finish a course in a place, the next one can be on the other side of the historical centre of Naples, running to not get late is a must. Despite the lack of the infrastructure’s basis, people are nice and teachers tend to understand the conditions in which students are put. For what concerns the exams, if you fail one exam on a semester there is no chance to try again in the same semester, you must wait the next exam session which happens at the end of every season. This slows the process of graduation. When we got into quarantine, on one side I was relieved to not live this exhausting situation through the city, but on the other hand the University life is a great environment to experience when surrounded by the right people.
