Personal comments

Italians are, when able to, not very at ease when speaking English. My advise is learn some basics and the rest you will pick up when you're there.

Final comments

Studying at the European School of Economics was a wonderful experience filled with, creating new friendships from all over the world, learning culture, traveling, and learning from my self and how I can become a successful person. Being able to travel to Italy, London, Spain allowed me to experience life through a completely new perspective. I am so grateful for my academic learning opportunity that ESE has given me, through it’s professors, that aim to push your thinking, and expand your knowledge in a whole new way.

Travel as much as you can! The country is BEAUTIFUL! Grocery stores close Friday at 6pm and then don't open until Monday afternoon so stock up for those 3 days! The metro closes at midnight so make sure you have a way to get home after that... and in general, enjoy your experience...

Academic

Course recommendations

The lecturers/students rate at ESE is great if you like smaller classes and better attention from your professors. I don't recommend the school to those who enjoy bigger classes (25+ studs). I've always been able to get in touch with both my professors and school's staff when needed.

Personal comments

The school was fair with me although I would improve the school's intranet, which I didn't find useful at all times.
