Student life
Fahmin M
Italy, Graduate
Business Studies, 2021
Overall
Student life in Italy is quite different compared to life in my country. Generally student life is such that if handled carefully, we can enjoy also learn everything that is essential for a good future.  That is why I  have to  be punctual and disciplined. Everything has a time and sometimes it is necessary to give complete time to one or other aspect of student life. Study is the main purpose and others should be maintained only at the side. So, I think if we  sacrifice a bit comfort and enjoyment for that, we should do it happily because if the future is good then all enjoyments will follow automatically.

amazing city

Italy, Graduate
International Relations, 2021
Overall
The University of Siena is really good, like the city. You will enjoy the medieval buildings and the atmosphere of the city. About the university, it depends on the curriculum you have chosen. International relation is a good university with some good professors, anyway, they never let us do practical exams. This is what they should improve more. We always had oral exams or written, so you have to study a lot of books and theory.

Final comments
Siena is brilliantly located so it is very easy to travel around Italy form there. Although it is an extremely accomodating city it is also quite small so if you're a person that gets bored easily choose to go to a bigger City with more activity. It did get a bit dull throughout the winter but the summer was brilliant. I've yet to see a more breathtaking Piazza and could just spend hours there sitting in it.

I reccomend it very highly. Siena is small, and the university thrives. It's the perfect place to study and meet people from all over. Every day/night is a new adventure! Word to the wise: the Sienese are a fiercely proud and belligerent people. Watch yourself and be respectful where the situaiton requires it.

If you're ever stressed (the town can make you feel "closed in" from time to time), take a couple days and go by yourself o Assisi. Perfect place to get away!

I wish I had known...
Yes, I wish I had known that they don't sell Doritos over there! Also, I wish I had pre-arranged a fan, because neither the dorm rooms, nor the classrooms had air-conditioning or fans. Some days the heat was unbearable.

Don't worry about money...just bring one or two ATM cards....I really only brought about $40.00 US, and exchanged for Lire at the post office (best rate). Then, whenever I needed cash, I just went to an ATM - they call it Bancomat.
