Italy’s LUISS Guido Carli University is a reputable institution with a concentration on economics, political science, and law. It has a solid reputation for giving students a top-notch education and preparing them for fruitful careers in a range of sectors.
The internationalization programs offered by LUISS Guido Carli, which enable students to study abroad and take part in international internships, are one of the school’s benefits.
On the downside, because it is a private university, the atmosphere may occasionally be poisonous and intensely competitive.
Overall, LUISS Guido Carli has a solid academic reputation and is a reputable university. It might be worth thinking about if you want to study law, political science, or economics in Rome.
View moreThe program that I did was for three years: Management and Computer Science. An innovative and avant-garde course, which allows all those who carry it out a high level of preparation and an adequate network of connections. The university is located on a beautiful campus and all the classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technologies. The teachers do not speak English very well but this is compensated by their high knowledge of the subjects they teach. It opens many doors for you to study in such a stimulating environment.
View moreLuiss has been the most unhealthy studying environment I have ever frequented.
Every curiosity from students iss killed either by (many) incompetent professors who cannot address any question going beyond what is thought during class, or by toxic and in-depth extra study on the topics fronted in our subjects.
Assistance to students is inexistent for studying related matters and only present for bureaucratic duties.
Students live under their own “bubble” only capable of spending at least 60€ every time they go out for drinks or dinner or clubbing (which are the only activities they know about).
On campus services are just a few and very expensive (canteen, bike sharing, vending machines), moreover the campuses (depending on which course you’ll study in different parts of Rome) are all extremely small and very difficult to reach by either car (no parking) or public transportation.
GO STUDY ELSEWHERE, it is not worth it.
I personally loved my three years at LUISS university. The overall experience is something I would recommend to anyone.
The main campus in Viale Romania is very pretty, with lots of green areas and nice spots to spend your extra time (such as the LOFT, the Language Cafè, a small wooded area with table tennis tables and other amenities, Radio Luiss, and so on). There are drinking fountains at every corner, even two dispensing sparkling water, charging stations (there are also ports everywhere), printers, MacBooks available for students, a tiny movie theater, 3D printers and so much more.
There are only a few complaints I feel I should mention. There isn’t enough room for students to study (not even in empty classrooms), nor at the cafeteria and neither at the bar (in Italy a bar is where you get coffee). Also, parking in Parioli (the neighborhood the main campus is located in) is ridiculous… if you have a car take into account at least 0.30h to find a parking spot, even if you drive a Smart. The university doesn’t care about this at all, offering only very low discounts for garages nearby (still super expensive, about €170 per month), and even taking away all parking spots reserved to motorbikes within the campus (for no apparent reason, as there’s plenty of space).
I cannot say much about the cafeteria since I never ate there, as no one recommended it (I was told that prices are high, quantity is not there, and quality is average), and also because there are plenty of alternatives in proximity to the campus, or you can even get food delivered.
