LIUC Università Cattaneo Castellanza (LIUC)
Carlo Cattaneo University, Corso Matteotti 22, 21053 Castellanza, Italy
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.

Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? You will see the real Italian Life, have opportunity to have more local contacts than living on Campus.
Personal comments:
I was also living on Campus for 6 months, it was fun because there you never feel lonly because of other erasmus students, but the price was really expensive and you never practice Italian there. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE

Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Near the university there are not many places to go maybe Schmukers bar is a good place to go but there were no places to dance nearby. In Milan which was really hard to access at night without a car then there were plenty of places to go (but quite expensive). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
English courses are the easiest!
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Compared to American universities, the course were very different. Only one exam at the end of the course and block scheduling. In other words class does not meet everyday or even every week sometimes. But I really enjoyed my classes. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English Was learning Italian a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Italian How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) How much did you improve your Italian?
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) Personal comments:
Most of the Italians didn´t speak English, so I was almost forced to learn Italian, which was a good thing of course. At first, although, it felt difficult, but with time it became easier. I think I might have even learned more Italian if I would have lived outside the campus residence. Now I just used my English skills when interacting with other international students.

OVERALL

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Knowing the Italian language - we (Erasmus guys) were almost isolated from Italians thus it was very difficult to improve our Italian knowledge. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
The courses were interesting but did not advance my knowledge. The University is far from bigger cities - we did not have many things to do in Castellanza and this why we had to make efforts to live social life. FINAL COMMENTS
It is better to come here to study in your second or third year. If you have a car and a laptop, do not leave them home!! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
