Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

Living in a campus allowed me to be in contact with different cultures not only during the time spent at the university but also in the spare time. Sharing the apartment with a roomate has been educative and it help me to speak constantly english improving the language skill.

Personal comments

The experience could not be better. The friendship that i built there are still in place, the experience has been not only a challenge profesionally but also personally. Being resposible in first line ourself has no price and let you discover a lot of aspects that previously were not important or underlined.

Overall

Overall the quality of the university is great. The teachers/professors are great and the facilities are excellent. The campus area is beautiful. My master's programme includes people from multiple nations which allows the development of international skills and relations. Also, there is always support available for studies and even problems like mental health issues
