Sapienza Università di Roma (UNIVERSITY OF ROME SAPIENZA)

no

The University is undergoing alot of changes due to educational reforms at the moment; if you go there, keep in mind that you will have to be resourceful, and brave to get what you want.

Talk with other students... Take a lot of courses in the beginning, and skip them you dont like... It seemt real easy just to pick a new course during the first month or so... There's so little control and few teachers controls who shows up when. At some courses in auditoriums there's like 100 students, so in theory you can just sign up for the exam in the end of the course and take the exam without studying. At others the professor really controls who goes, and this matters when he give the grade at the end of semester... Talk with the professors in the beginning of the course so that he knows that you are interested in it. The small courses are often much better than those for the crowds. Write notes... Dont buy the books, borrow them at the department libary and copi them... You dont want to use them after your study abroad anyway...

I guess I had a bit of a culture shock, going from the northern europe to Italy... Also more language skills would have eased my socializing.

It is really welknowned, guess because its so huge... But its not fantastic... Oh, the Mensa/food was really great!!! Cheap, plenty and tasty! I was really impressed that there's a guy at the mensa at the faculty of economics that actually makes to pizza...
