Personal recommendation

It's the most famous university of Italy and people, professors and students know it very well, too well. The annual cost of the university is too hight: you will only meet the very high italian society.

Rome is the best place to live: just go, you'll see and you'll want to come back to work in the Eternal city.

Don`t start studying too late and make sure you always attend the (obligatory) lectures. Make sure, you have a good level of Italian before going.

Best living area for students is around Piazza Bologna. If you get to Rome one month in advance of the semester start, there will be lots of room notices up on the black board! Many Italians share rooms, as accomodation is rather expensive.

“European Studies”

Giulio S

Italy, Graduate
European Studies, 2020

Overall

The courses provide students with a strong theoretical background about Public Affairs, Governance, International Relations and so forth. Professors come from different backgrounds and are active in several fields at the EU level (some specialise in competition, others in public policies, etc.). By doing an ERASMUS programme in other EU universities, such as those based in Brussels (ULB), Paris (Sciences Po), Berlin (Hertie), one can always improve their practical knowledge and skills.

Pros

LUISS has some very good exchange programs in other EU countries with important universities such as Sciences Po

Cons

It provides no job placement and it is unreliable when it comes to guiding students throughout the process of finding an occupation

Luiss university has an international atmosphere. It is highly reputed in Italy & offers a wide range of information & access points to leading international companies. The student committee works permanently to provide ongoing social activities. The university grounds are also very attractive!

Final comments

A year not to be missed! Educationally interesting but culturally awsome! Travel to the fullest-trains are both very economical and available. Always have a written contract for accomodation - legal documentation is 100% to your personal benefit so know your rights and entitlements! Be aware of pharmacy opening hours; sundays often rotate business.

I wish I had already informed myself on the cost of apartments and on their scarcity, especially in the center.

Personal recommendation

The administration and students do a lot to make foreign students feel at home. However some students made the mistake of frequenting only other exchange students. I think that besides integrating into the university exchange student life it is equally important, and maybe more enriching, to make an effort to integrate into normal Italian life. So become friends with Italians in and out of the university; this is the best way to get to know the richness and diversity of the Italian cultures.

Final comments

Do not limit your experience to the university life. This is a great occasion to get to know Italy and its culture. My main advice is to travel! Rome is very close other beautiful regions such as Tuscany, Umbria and Naples (do not miss a visit to Pompei, Capri and the Amalfi Coast)
