Excellent Teaching and Environment

I first thought it wasn't going to be great because the university isn't that popular in Italy but when I got here and started lectures, I was amazed. The university gives an awesome atmosphere for learning and brings in lecturers and experts who are doing great in their careers to teach us. The only thing I had to adjust to was the long hours of lecture. I'll gladly recommend.
