Politecnico di Bari

I had a lot of expectations before arriving Bari from Nigeria as a self sponsored Masters student in January 2020. 
It hasn't been an easy one, no orientations,  no laid down specifics as to organization both for settling as an immigrant and also for school. 
Hopes of finding a student job to ease of the burden of bills such as food, electricity, internet, transport where dashed as I have been searching before the pandemic and couldn't find. 
Making new friends was not also easy (language barrier) and I observed Italians are a little laid back also. 
I've started learning the language, it's pretty much exciting and I can communicate to some extent in Italian.

We had to study theory and practice (not too mch) with the aim to be simply perfect during each one of the 30 interviews (written and oral test) or no way to pass: some tests let just 1/2 students on even over 80/100 pass written part. 
Such an approach was very hard and many students quitted. But it made all of us able to get to the end the ability to face any difficult task during our daily work: there is nothing I cannot solve!
I have been working with many very competent engineers and graduates in many disciplines during my entire working experience and I can state we have a very wide overview in respect to many of them, I think it's a consequence of such a very hard selection.

Not all courses prepare you for a professional career. The professors are good teachers, but not all of them are always available outside the timetable. The exams are difficult and highly educational. Student associations work quite well. The Polytechnic has invested funds in new student's structures and activities, but only in the last year and this is not enough in comparison with other universities (Italian and European). The Polytechnic fails to provide at tools and material useful for student development.
