Great campus, strong research, friendly vibe Italy

What I liked: The University of Calabria offers a spacious, green campus with a calm study environment. I appreciated the supportive professors, solid research culture, and the chance to interact with international students. Facilities like libraries and study areas are well-designed and accessible. What can be improved: Administrative processes can be slow at times, and more English-taught courses and career-placement support would help international students. Some services could be more digitally streamlined. Overall study experience: Overall, it was a positive and enriching academic experience,strong academically, peaceful to study in, and culturally rewarding, with a few organizational areas that could be improved.

Vibrant Santander Location

The college is located in a great city. Santander is a great place to live at, it has many activities possible, it is near the ocean. The temperatures are pretty constant, not too hot in summer, but the winters are warm enough, it is a bit humid though. The ESN (Erasmus Student network) is pretty active over there, and you will always find things to do.
