Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Here is my story at istituto Europeo: I was looking for an Internship opportunity in some European country when an old friend of mine passed the wind of Istituto Europeo to me. I've got several options in Germany, Italy and France. As I was short of time and I had to get the ball rolling. You know what I did? I made a list of advantages and disadvantages of all the institutions I could pass my Internship at, I contacted the coordinators, had an interview with them and only the coordinator at Istituto Europeo responded to all of my questions patiently, showed his own willingness and support for me to pass an Internship with them. But still I've got cold feet before arriving to Florence as I had no idea of what was gonna happen next. But as soon as I entered the university all the worries and fear disappeared since the management staff was already waiting for me with the necessary documents ready. Frankly speaking I had the best couple of months in my life in Florence. Italy is a wonderland. Istituto Europeo gives you great opportunities to practice, share your own experience and get more and more skills and knowledge that you will definitely to use the rest of your life. In other words, take your chance, you are not gonna regret it!!!
