Academic
Course recommendations
I have been the pioneer, as italian student to go there. I think that by now courses must surely have been improved and broadened. I would advice to choose different courses taught by teachers coming from different backgrounds as me (I had teachers from NY-USA, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Estonia and even Ghana!).
