You might be thinking: “These rankings are great, but what do students think about these universities?” Because great minds think alike, we’ve allowed international students to leave reviews on our portals.

You can read them on the individual page of each university, and their opinions might help you overcome your fears and make a more informed decision. Here are a couple of examples:

University of Helsinki graduate

“Honestly, I've got no complaints. Everything was great, the English courses were taught fully in English, and there were no problems with that. Great professors and overall great faculty. Everyone is very patient and helpful, so there isn't really any added stress. Overall it was a great and really fun experience.”

Politecnico di Milano graduate

“You are in a professional context where education is taken seriously. The students’ opinions have relevance, and the professors are generally available for further explanations or additional exercises. You hardly have issues with exams corrections or data.”
