Sapienza – Università di Roma Speciality : Development Studies
programme: Economic Development and International Cooperation

The University is huge nice and very open to international students there are so many sessions for exams that we can learn from mistakes nd give exam again. Erasmus opportunities and conference happen every now and then. I love my course here

Even though La Sapienza of Rome is one of the oldest and most respectable universities in Italy, its main problem is the bureaucratic management, which drives students crazy on a daily basis. Once you’re in Sapienza, you must learn to deal with it, or leave. Anyway, I must recognise that the professors are valid, even though their methods are still outdated; a lot of them owns their position since the Seventies. Moreover, for what it concerns the choice of classes, there’s a wide range of options available.

I studied at Sapienza University for three years, but unfortunately, the last two were during the pandemic. The experience I had was very good: in this university there are highly trained professors, who know how to involve you and pass on all their passion for the subject, at the same time there are some teachers who do not meet the needs of us students and who they don’t have a good organization, as in all universities.
What I liked most was the campus life. I had the opportunity to meet many friends, also from other countries of the world, participate in university events and live university life within the limits of the pandemic. It was a very good experience and the services offered by the university such as night study rooms and canteen were also excellent. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, many of these have been suspended and I would have preferred the university to have reacted to the emergency more efficiently. Anyway, was a very good experience.
