My opinion on the University of Siena is that the environment is great to stimulate your academic interests in lots of senses. Firstly, the city itself, which is small but interesting enough to live in as a university student, where the campus extends itself around the whole walled city and historical center of Siena; second, my opinion on the university itself is the best one possible, given the fact that all structures are very well maintained, libraries are often useful resources and well equipped, and teachers can interact and work closely with students and direct contact is very easy; third, as far as my own experience goes on the History and Philosophy masters program, the DSSBC department(Cultural Heritage and Historical Studies department) has a great team of teachers, which are very well prepared academically and have received me as a foreigner student in a warm way, willignly meeting my needs as well as my suggestions on various subjects presented in class.
