Ca'Foscari University Of Venice Speciality : Philosophy
programme: Philosophy

I really appreciated the fact that you can connect very well with your classmates and with professors.
The academic offer is great, as well as a huge quantity of extra-curricular activities.
Some professors have to improve their relationship with technology, but this does not affect their teachings or availability.

I found the courses generally valid; what I did not like was the study plan, which concentrates all the classes in short terms, followed by a one-week exam session. Moreover, the University lack the necessary places for the everyday student’s life (e.g. canteens, study rooms…). Though the professors are usually very helpful, the secretaries are often rude and incompetent.

After studying here for months, I now can see why Italy would never be able to catch up with its northern neighbourhood in terms of productivity if their education, management and mentality kept looking like this.

Such a Luddite institution in a Luddite country within a backward, Luddite education system. What a waste and shame!
