“High quality of knowledge acquired, but services must be improved”
Gloria C
Italy, Graduate Materials Science, 2019
Overall
I had a great experience in my university, both for bachelor's and for master's degree. In particular, during master's classes I had the possibility to join several laboratory activities, which kept me closer to practical engineering experiences, so it is a positive aspect. I think that also during bachelor's classes, even if the students' number is higher, it is important to experience laboratories and practical lessons, because engineering is not only theory and books! A practical approach is important to develop a critical and empirical thinking, along with solving problems attitude.
I consider very high the quality of knowledge acquired during these years, expecially on technical point of view. But I hope that university will improve services (i.e. simplification of burocracy and implementation of technological facilities) and also will act more as "BRIDGE" between graduates and job's world, which is fundamental for a region of South Italy which wants (and needs) to grow.

Pros
teaching, knowledge, culture
Cons
poor activites for job placement, services must be improved
I had the opportunity to decide and choose while I was there, by participating to the courses I was interested in. I ended up changing almost all the courses present in my "programma di studio" but I was very satisfied I could do so. I liked what I studied there.

Personal comments
I once had a minor unpleasant incident with two Italian teachers of English (women) who seemed to progressively disconsider me during an oral exam of English. They were replacing a British professor who had to remain in England during that period, due to some personal problems. This same professor had once told me I didn't even need to go to class since my English was already very good, and that maybe I should have chosen something a bit more challenging. However, at the exam these Italian teachers who were replacing this professor seemed to have a problem with the fact that my English and my accent were really good (as compare to the rest I imagine). However, I did pass the exam eventually, even if not with the best mark. I honestly can't believe what happend to this day and I consider this to be an isolated incident, not representative for my rate of the overall academic experience in Lecce.
