My experience with university of Genoa is very nice, they treat us very carefully and the professors are very friendly. Also our senior colleagues are very nice hence the university specified a senior student to tell us about any doubts.
Great Place to study but small things need to be changed
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The initial process was good but there was lack of information on the scholarships in the Portal. Most of the pages need to be translated into English which is hard sometimes. Due to Covid-19, I haven't been to University yet although there is a delay in response from the staff.
