Good experience
Overall a good experience. It is easy to live in Bergamo because it is small and affordable. But there is not a university life in the city. Educational quality is good. Academic staff are willing to help. There is also chance to learn Italian with university courses.
The academics were too broad
So, I really liked my university, but I have to say that the aim of my career is too broad. Instead of concentrating on one subject (literature, or linguistic or tourism) it tries to teach all of them. So I feel like I dipped my foot in all of them but not mastered them completely
University of Bergamo

Nestled in a historic city, the university combines rigorous academics with practical, hands-on learning that prepares students well for the real world.

Overall, studying at the University of Bergamo has been rewarding, providing me with a solid foundation in both Marketing Management and Finance, and preparing me effectively for my future career.
