As of 2013, the University's peak conveys the adage Alma mater studiorum and the date A.D. 1088. The University has around 85,000 understudies in its 23 schools. It has branch focuses in Imola, Ravenna, Forlì, Cesena and Rimini and a branch focus abroad in Buenos Aires. It likewise has a school of perfection named Collegio Superiore di Bologna. It is perceived as the most seasoned college in continous operation, considering that it was the first to utilize the term universitas for the enterprises of understudies and masters which came to characterize the foundation.

Due to the fact that English not is very useful in Italy, its is great oppertunity to learn the local language even faster. Even though it can be difficult in the beginning, the experience of social obstacles and not knowing a language is very important. Furthermore you can be supported and well understood by native speakers and staff at the university that shows great understandning.

Orgnaization is pretty well done; courses are crowded, exams can last up to three days if many students register for the same date; oldest european university with corresponding atmosphere and prestige; very good learning environment and many recreations and socializing opportunities; very satisfies with all aspects of student and academic life.

Pros
Bologna University has high standards, excellent studying possibilities and professors. There are a lot of Erasmus students in Bologna University so professors and students are used with having foreign students around (they are helpfull and considerate).

Cons
If you want more authentic experience and to mingle more with locals, Bologna isn't always the best place because you have to work hard not to pump into other foreign students all the time. Also you have to keep in mind that it is quite hard to find a living space in Bologna (especially for Erasmus students) and it costs a lot to live there.

Overall rating 7.5/10
