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.

LIUC Università Cattaneo Castellanza review by Katja
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Personal comments:
The rent was really high compared to the fact that it was a double room I lived in..But the facilities were pretty good and it was easier to get to know other exchange students when you lived on the campus residence. 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.
