Student review [#10454] for Film and Literature
at University of Pavia - UNIPV

Wasn’t too thrilled to come back to my hometown for university, but it’s a very fun city when you’re a student. There are student discounts and opportunities around every corner, the nightlife is very lively on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and anything you can’t find in Pavia you’ll find 40 minutes away in Milan. When it comes to the teaching, some teachers are inspiring, some are provincial, some are as monstrous as Scylla and Charybdis, just like in any other university. The infrastructure is picturesque yet outdated, with the notable exception of the beautiful, newly-restored Biblioteca Petrarca. I study Lettere Moderne and it’s a good enough course; I am also in some very interesting extracurricular activities, but I had to dig a little to find them Tuition, accommodation and transportation are all very reasonably priced. Not a bad university, I would recommend it to all those who think Bologna to be a bit too intense and Milan a bit too expensive.
