Go there if it meshes with your academic/career goals.
Coming from a pretty obscure program at U of Toronto (Semiotics and Communication Theory) it was really good for me to take some courses that take an utilitarian view of communication (com. as a business tool rather than a study in itself) so the academic experience was absolutely brilliant.
Still, there were a few blah courses taught by old school-Italian profs that stand in front of the class and spout their brilliance for 90 minutes, but that was part of the local colour.
Another matter that not everyone may like is the fact that USI is a very young university - it was founded in 1996 so it doesn't carry the cachet that Oxford, Cambridge, Sorbonne and others do, but it's the best kept secret in Europe because of the international profile of its professors.

Buy the binario metta prezzo (half price train tickets for a year if you pay a lump sum of CHF 150 and get a card with your picture on it) - it pays for itself in pretty much 3 trips and it's essential if you're planning on seeing any of CH (doh!)
Go skiing in St. Moriz (or anywhere, for that matter) but see if you can hook up with some local friends and stay at their house/chalet so that you don't have to pay tourist prices for the hotel etc.
Travel more. Pack twice the money and half the clothes. Don't worry about your accent/pronounciation. Be nice to the profs and get to know them. Fawn on the secretaries, they will love you and help you when you need it. Climb the hills around Lugano (great! view). See if you can find a canoe (*not* a kayak!) and go for a paddle on Lago di Lugano (calm water, great sights). Forget English/your mother tongue. Join AIESEC. *Don't* call the Swiss-Germans "zucchini" unless invited. Smile at the hills for me if you go, I miss them!

I think that overall the university is very good. Sometimes, there are slight organisational problems. Thus, it will be great to be fixed.

Lugano is a very nice but expensive small town. The lake and the nature is astonishing.It is better to know Italian before coming.

“MaRS scholarship at USI, Lugano, Switzerland”
Egor E
Suisse, Autres formations
, 2018
Évaluation globale
Hello. My name is Egor Ermolaev. For now I'm a final year student from Omsk, Russia. Autumn 2017 I was looking for opportunity to do my diploma thesis somewhere abroad (because of I really like culture exchange and learn new languages). So I finally found a proposal from the USI, Lugano. The proposal was in the frames of Master Research Scholarship program (shortly - MaRS). The point was - it's the short term foundation (5000$) to work at USI as a visiting researched. The university gives to you all the necessary stuff (project theme, research group, place in the open space, laptop etc.). Highly recommend this university and the scholarship program.

Not bad, what I liked is the international culture, but academics has spaces for improvements.

USI is a young and dynamic environment with a look towards the future. I choose to study here mainly because they offered a very unique master program in "Marketing and Transformative Economy" that focuses more on contemporary and ground-breaking research rather than on traditional marketing practices.
