Internships can be challenging to find.

Tips: Bologna is a very cultural, rich, and scenic place to be in which is why the student exchange programs have become very popular leading to interaction with fellow students from all over the world. You will need to take a few courses in Italian to be able to sustain here and the living cost are better than some of the other popular cities like Milan. A big challenge is getting your paperwork in order and these things can take a significant amount of time do rely on your peers and the international students union if possible.

Great experience and lots of memories to cherish.

Tips: Bologna is a beautiful but expensive city so you'll need to plan and budget for the same. I found the people to be warm, helpful and kind and this really contributes to my overall experience. Everything is pretty smooth except sometimes the paperwork and the administrative procedure take quite a long time.

Likes (Public transportation): The system for computing and transportation in Italy is really efficient and reliable at least most of the time. It is easy to navigate and you can usually trust the buses and trains to be on time. It makes travel a lot smoother and allows you to explore other parts of the city and country.

Beautiful campus and city.

Tips: One thing to know is that there are not that many Indian food options. On the other hand, the Italian food here is excellent. Also, I would like to point out that there is a strong Indian community presence here, so you probably will not have to worry about that. I’d recommend learning a few basic Italian phrases. Also, be cautious of pickpockets in touristy areas. The faculty is very understanding and supportive and will encourage you to participate in clubs and events. People are very friendly and love to socialise as well.

Street smartness is an important trait here.

Tips: I have felt a lot of warmth and acceptance after coming here. Bologna is quite an underrated place, but the experience has been so worth it. The university buildings are so historic and charming and makes learning a pleasure here. The biggest problem communication issues, and sometimes things can be a bit slow here, so you'll have to have a bit of patience.
