Carlo Cattaneo University, Corso Matteotti 22, 21053 Castellanza, Italy
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
by Mirja-Liisa, Turku School of Economics and Business Administration, Turku, Finland
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Living near all the other exchange students (and local students) made the experience very special.
Personal comments:
Housing was quite expensive about 350 €/month in a doubleroom. Kitchen in the campus could have been better equipped. The campus was new and in a good shape and it was next to the university buildings. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Go to Switzerland! it was an amazing experience. I went to Interlaken and Bern. 4hrs from Milan to Interlaken. Check out funny farm. Rome is amazing. You need a week to take it all in though. I was there just for a weekend. Munich in October. Go to the october festival. It is a cultural shock. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
