Housing services
The University of Bergamo is located in Lombardia, a region in Northern Italy with more than 10 millions inhabitants and one of the regions with the highest GDP pro capita in Europe. With a history older than the foundation of Rome, Bergamo grew as a key town in Mediaeval times and is now a bridge between Western and Eastern Europe: its airport is the Southern Europe hub for Ryanair and other low cost airlines, turning over 9 million passengers in 2012.
Medical services

Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

Learning experience was diverse, despite that there are not so many Erasmus students, you can find in Bergamo loads of international students who came here for the full degrees....
Internationalization as a future

I really like the possibility of attend a master degree held in english and the internazionalization policy. What can be improved is the organizations of a few course that belong to the emdical field.
