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
