Cappuccinos and espressos add up! So do Spritz! Wine will be cheaper than soda anywhere.

“An institutional body of mediocre people”
Ana S
Albania, Graduate
, 2026
Overall
While I passed the initial screening I was then informed that my application was not a fit for their program. With a GPA of 8.5/10 (Diploma of 4 years with 240 credits) and 4.4/5 (Master's degree of two years, fully taught in English), without mentioning the fluent level in both, English and Italian, my application was discarded with the justification that my personal preparation was not a fit for their institution!
Listen to me, you miserable body of mediocre people! I know the Italian academic bureaucracy, laws, and all that bullshit there! I know due to politics and to a corrupted state and society you are not able any longer to make the difference from what constitutes a real value to education and to science. I am sorry I had to review your Italian colleague at Harvard for her paper was honestly mediocre, but this once again enforces my personal conviction that apart from propaganda, your institution is not a good fit for my preparation!
I don't recommend this institution to serious A grade students. They will just take your money without giving a shit for your hard work and life goals!

I will start my two years master at Ca' Foscari University this September. I chose this university because it is considered the first university in Italy in business, founded in 1868. It is a university whit a lot of challenging programs and with partnerships with several universities throughout the world.
