The University of Pisa is one of the best university from a theoretical point of view, but it does not adequately introduce you to the world of work. The exams are hard, really challenging, and sometimes the credits associated with the exam itself are not enough, but the satisfaction of learning something new in detail and achieving a goal is priceless. Despite this the university provides workshops to improve everyone’s soft skills, there are projects related to Engineering courses, there is a lot of cultural diversity and the professors are experts in their fields.
Lastly the city is small, calm and cheap.
