4.7/5

Overall

I wish I had known...

When you are going to study abroad make sure you see the room/appartment before making a down payment. I wish I did this before going to Siena. The problem is that you never know what you will find when youy are there.

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

It is a small interesting town innthe toscani region of italy, closer to florence and empoli. Siena is a tourist area where you meet people from all walks of life. Life is very simple and relaxing, which makes school life here less stressful.
The education system is very good. It helps you to always give out your best, as the teachers are ever ready to assist any student.

Pros

A very good school and education system

Università degli Studi di Siena

5.0/5

Overall

Multidisciplinary course work on developing the capacity for understanding and analyzing the international dimension of political, economic and social phenomena. Also, it enables the monitoring of highly complex operational projects and strategies in the fields of international relations, development cooperation and European policies.

Pros

Very progressive thinking professors with mordern teaching methods .

Cons

Complex organisational and administrative structure. Lack of multi-lingual support staff.
