3.66 / 5 based on 150 reviews.
Description:
The University was founded in 1991 on the initiative of the Industrial Association for the Province of Varese (UNIVA) and was formally recognised by a ministerial decree in October 1991 as an independent, self financing University. It had its first graduates in July 1995. Since its foundation the University has a 4-year course in Business and Economics, since 1994/5 a 3-year course in Logistics and Production Engineering and since 1998/9 a 4-year course in Law and Economics. 1999-2000 will see the start of a five year course in Engineering Management. The teaching philosophy of the University is based on the thinking of the Lombard economist, Carlo Cattaneo, who identified the human factor as one of the essential resources for economic development, foreseeing a need which is currently at the centre of the debate on company culture.

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? cost of the halls were too expensive for what we actually stayed in. Was at times very restrictive in what u could put on walls etc was like a cheap hotel room.

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
many clubs in Milan but the cost of the taxi home was around 50 Euros, or you could hold back for the 1st train in the morning. The Erasmus network did organise plent nights for us so the bus home was available. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:

Save plenty of money before travelling. Pick up a pay as you go sim card when you arrive, cheaper than using university or public phones. A laptop if you can is helpful for studying although it is easy to borrow one from fellow students. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
