If you go to Milan, you should not go for the academic attractiveness of the university, the level and way of teaching is sometimes very frustrating as the level is low and interaction with teachers is very difficult.

I wanted to learn Italian, but as in school the language was english and there was not much contact with the local students, I did not learn as much as I had hoped.

“biggest non-sense university”

Moritz S

Italy, Undergraduate
, 2024

Overall

you only learn useless stuff that is unnecessarily difficult. My teacher at my public middle school were better at teaching. Insanely toxic atmosphere and teachers are not there to help you on average but to screw you over without teaching you anything. If you go here be ready to waste your youth for nothing in return. You pay them big tuition fees to ruin your twenties and teach you literally nothing useful.

Careers

They offer only non-sense unless you want to work in some mid italian companies where they pay is low as hell. You are better off doing it all on your own. Even then the way Bocconi schedules exams makes it harder for you to get a good internship if anything.

Pros

Reputation of the university and target school

Cons

literally everything, especially teaching. Also non of the stuff they teach you is really useful relative to the effort required study it. Ironic considering their motto is "knowledge that matters"
