Course recommendations:
In Italy you get information very late (especially compared to Belgium) and you had to find out everything yourself. Besides this, the professors were very friendly, much more informal than in Belgium.

I think the University of Siena should appoint better mentors for their foreign students, mentors were not well aware of their duties.

Maybe the professor could make a book of there course or at least a summary, because some of them hust begin to teach in Italian without anything for the student to rely on (difficult for a foreign student who doesn't speak the language that well)

Course recommendations:
The teachers are sometimes unavailable and self-absorbed, and don't be surprised if you have to wait literally for hours to take an exam. But I liked the way subjects were taught. The approach is highly analytical and critical, and students are encouraged to think and make judgements for themselves, and to participate in class.
