Letter to parents

Choosing a university is an important moment for the whole family.

The advice that usually works is to possibly indulge the will of the children, in order to take more responsibility with respect to a choice imposed instead by others, even if they are the parents.

However, you Parents, know that choosing a Degree Course is not just choosing a Degree Course. Making such a demanding choice means choosing one University over another, a large, small or media city, a lifestyle, one study organization over another.

All universities are different: some may not even have classrooms for all students, others may lack services, others still require attendance at a lesson in one place and the next lesson in another place that may be miles away, some almost never respect the timetables for lessons and exams, and so on.

But not all cities are the same. There are cities that are more exposed to risks, to muggings, to crime in general, and others that instead have very low risk rates.

Even for expenses, one must not only think about university fees, but also about all the costs required to live with dignity as a student in a given urban context, the costs for housing, for travel, for books, for food, for free time.

And, furthermore, it is important to also evaluate what possibilities exist in the different university cities to reach the University headquarters by public transport and, in particular, the headquarters of the specific Faculty that interests us. In some cases, public transport is lacking and it is necessary to resort in combination to urban transport that is not always efficient and not always usable and not always advisable.

Finally, the facilities made available to students must be taken into consideration (quality of classrooms, libraries, internet services, canteens, scientific laboratories, and their accessibility) and, last but not least, the prestige of the academic qualification obtained.

A university that works well and a reassuring environment.
