I wish I had known...
Venetians have to cope with millions of tourists every year, so it is really hard to get to know one

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Be sure you want to stay at Venice, choose the time of your stay carefully (eg. summer is incredibly hot and humind and full of tourists). Teachers try to make up for missing resources, try to do projects that do not depend much on extensive research

(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
Some people like Venice for a day or two, otherwise the completely different way of life (without cars etc.) seems to complicated etc.
If you like hiking, the Belluno Dolomites are only one hour away.
Another way of saving a little bit of money is by doing your shopping at Panorama/Auchan. Free buses leave at the Piazzale Roma

“Venice's historical Ca' Foscari University”
Lorenzo R
Italy,
Language, 2022
Overall
The courses at my university were all in all well organized and easy to follow. Except for the first year of Korean language which proved particularly difficult as the professor spoke neither Italian nor English perfectly, so understanding the various nuances of a grammatical form or a new vocabulary was complicated.
As for students and campus life, it was generally good and filled with cultural events to partake in. Unfortunately, the last year I attended classes with distance learning due to covid, but excluding a very few occasions exams and lectures were up to part with previous years.

Careers
The university offers opportunities not only erasmus/overseas exchange programs but also some intership opportunities.
Unfortunately again due to covid I was not able to participate in the latter but instead took some of the courses offered by the university's career service.

Pros
University campus uses historic buildings in multiple locations around the city
Cons
Korean courses need improvement and more extracurricular activities

“Organizzazione e struttura come punti di forza”
Lisa F
Hungary,
Business Studies, 2024
Overall
La struttura del campus economico a Venezia è molto recente, le aule sono spaziose e innovative. Ho trovato che i professori sono in media preparati e disponibili a dare chiarimenti in caso le lezioni o la modalità degli esami non risulti chiara. Ho trascorso attualmente solo il primo anno a Ca Foscari perché al momento mi trovo a Budapest grazie il progetto Erasmus. Lo scorso anno ho vissuto la realtà universitaria serenamente grazie ai molteplici spazi che l'università ha dedicato allo studio degli studenti.

Careers
Essendo ancora la secondo anno non sono venuta alla conoscenza di numerose proposte da parte di Ca Foscari, molte delle attività sono state tenute a inizio del corrente anno scolastico, quando io mi trovavo già a Budapest.

Pros
L'ambiente, la struttura e le lezioni sono bene organizzate, se saltate per qualche motivo vengono sempre recuperate. L'organizzazione è il loro punto forte.
Cons
Molto burocratici e poco flessibili alle esigenze di ogni singolo studente, si soffermano su prerogative generali che spesso non sono consone alle diversità dei bisogni degli individui

“Engaging and interesting experience, weak course structure”
Lyazzat B
Italy, Undergraduate
International Relations, 2021
Overall
I study at Ca Foscari University since 2018. And since this time I can see the overall amelioration in my university. Ca Foscari offers various types of courses starting from Biotechnology, Data Science to Business Administration and Mediterranean studies.
University is very beautiful, at the heart of beautiful Venice. There are plenty of courses in English, you can even get a merit-based scholarship and tuition fee waiver.

Pros
Very engaging, responsible uni stuff, who will help you. 2) Lots of international opportunities, as university has agreements with other research centers, foreign universities.
Cons
Poor organisation of studies, very theory-based, old material, lack of seminars, practical knowledge

“Interesting but not perfectly structured”
Melissa S
Italy, Undergraduate
Humanities, 2020
Overall
The course was pretty new, therefore its structure was not the best, some topics were covered more than once in different courses and others not covered at all. Besides this, every course was interesting and allowed students to have at least a general understanding of most subjects. The entire course is held in english, which is great, though teachers' english proficiency varied. Student life on the other hand was great, Venice is a great city to live in for students and there are many opportunities.

Pros
City is great, staff is qualified, course spectrum is wide.
Cons
teachers are non-native speakers, organisation of courses and uni is not the best.
