A welcoming environment and great, understanding faculty.
Tips: I did not really know what to expect initially but I was pleasantly surprised as I found my university to be accommodating, especially in my field of study. It is located close to the city centre which is known as the centre- the square where all the happening spots are. The internships available are very limited and in my case, my programme is very niche hence there are limited opportunities in general. The college doesn't offer internship opportunities so you are on your own on this one and language becomes another barrier. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the experience here.

4.1
The university is decent but limited internship opportunities.
Tips: I think I have been quite satisfied with everything I learned and all the people I got to know during my time at the university. My only advice would be to keep an open mind and be flexible with whatever opportunity that comes your way. Learn Italian to communicate with the locals and it will also enhance your ability to get a job if you speak fluent Italian. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): There are hardly any available opportunities for internships as Bologna is not very well connected as compared to other cities. There is more priority given to locals and the linguistic barrier becomes an added challenge, especially as an international student.

Interesting experience with lots of learning lesson.
Tips: I got to meet and interact with people from all over the world and that contributed to broadening my horizons and personality as well. Moreover, exploring Italy has been truly marvellous. If you decide to come here then make sure you realise that it is fundamentally different from cities like Milan and you'll need to understand basic Italian. People are warm so you shouldn't have a hard time setting in.

Great university with great and helpful faculty.
Tips: Students should know that the college is historic and it will really bring out the creative side of you even if you feel you do not have one. The food is great except you might get limited options for Indian food. The transportation facility is great so you should explore the scenic mountains as well if you are studying in Bologna.

The university has been fun and interesting experience worth to remember.
Tips: I was very keen on studying in Italy which is why I chose the University of Bologna and I have been happy with my decision so far.

I didn't receive any scholarships but I did get a lot of valuable exposure from here. The faculty is understandable and is ready to help anytime. Overall I am quite happy and satisfied with the course, college and the country.

Kindly specify, what are you talking about which course or which country?

As I can understand you are asking for Italy so the lectures held in English for the international students everywhere and for the communication you can manage it in English only but locals may not understand it.

Thank you
