She went to a private university. It costs almost 15K a year, which is a lot more than Italian state's university, but cheaper I think than other private European ones

hey which programme u wanna do?

@@elenabrambilla8675 15k for one semester maybe. Most Master programs cost around 30-35k Euros for 12-18 months

@@lumberjaxx3335 Not at Bocconi. It's 13k a year in tuition (for bachelors)

​@@abdelnourmouissi1049 hi

Hi 👋 thanks for watching 💖

can you expand on the academic system being too rigorous? I thought the English courses would be less based on theory and more on practice

I was thinking of attending bocconi, but I have been leaning more towards other countries. Could you tell me if there was a lot of emphasis put on mathematics as even the bocconi test is full of such tasks.

Hey! Thanks for sharing your experience and I’m sorry it was not great ☹️ To your questions: Italian school system - it is tough! Italian students had a clear advantage as that is the system they were used to, but it is doable Oral exams - I was in the international course and I think we had like 2? It was very insignificant in my experience that I don’t even remember how it went Language - to be honest I was very much in an international bubble so my Italian was actually terrible. I improved it a lot after leaving Italy actually 😂 I do think it would’ve contributed a lot to my experience if I spoke proper Italian, but like I said, studying and trying to get a job was hard enough so that really was not my focus. Especially as I didn’t see any work opportunities there for after I graduate

Hi, i'm thinking about studying at the university in Bologna. Could you explain what you mean by the different university system regarding oral exams? I'm just curious as i'm still deciding exactly which university i want to go to.

@@carolinesrensen7218 Hi Caroline, it may depend on what program you decide to study in Bologna, but in general the Italian university system requires students to give oral exams to pass their courses instead of written exams. What this meant was on the day of the exam, students sit in a room and are one at a time called up to the front of the room to sit before the professor (and an assistant) and you are asked questions on the material of the course. Personally, I was humiliated as I was asked a question on a lecture I missed and was not able to answer fully (I still think the professor remembered that I was absent that day). At the end, the professor gives you a score (passing is 18, highest score is 30 and there is 30L, trenta e lode, which is like an A+ and can give a variable amount of extra points to your grade). In my opinion these scores/evaluations are completely arbitrary and the testing is not equal for every student. As I said in my previous comment, I felt at a disadvantage because the program was an "international" one (at least that's what it was called), and the majority of my classmates were Italians who grew up in this educational system learning how to take oral exams. They knew how to "talk around" the answer, how to direct the discourse in their favor if they did not know the answer flat out. For me, that kind of felt like lying or cheating, so I told the professor I didn't know how to answer. Being an English speaker didn't really seem that much of a benefit to me when I was the one who embarrassed themself in front of all the students. :) Anyway, I hope my experience doesn't discourage you, a big part of the reason I did not enjoy my studies was the organization of the program/quality of instruction, and I also found out I was not studying what I was truly passionate about. Maybe if I was going for a degree in my passion, being taught by professors of a high caliber, I would have been able to look past the oral exams. Best of luck on whatever you decide to pursue!

@@topotondo828 As an Italian, I have to say reading your comments left me kinda confused. I mean, oral exams are a fundamental part of the education system in Italy, and I know a few other European countries take oral exams as well. Here in Italy, when we decide to do a study program abroad, we have to be informed about how things might change in terms of learning methods in the host country. When you chose to study here, weren't you told about how exams would be oral and written?

Hi! can I ask you which international course did you take? I'll also be enrolling in an international degree in bologna this year!

🤩🤩🤩

@@lenny.winter I actually can't believe that we went to the same universities(different time) in Italy and China!!!! what a coincidence haha

Oh wow that’s awesome!

They were part of our graduation ceremony, we all had them! As far as I remember we had to pay a graduation fee and it included the ceremony, the diploma and the coat+hat set

Exactly! 😂😂

Thanks for watching!

Hey! Not sure about University of Milan, I would recommend you check their website and/or contact admissions office. There must be some sort of admission test or maybe SAT. Good luck!!

Thanks for watching! It’s Villa Reale

No, not this year 😋
