Ciao Folks! I’m quite sure no one is going to read this part but for those 5 people who will… I’m Bianca, I graduated with a First-Class Honours degree (drop the flex) in International Hospitality and Tourism Management. Before that, I studied history for a semester at Georgia Piedmont Technical College in Atlanta and have done an exchange semester in Finland during my third year at QMU. This to say that I had the opportunity to gain different perspective of university and what it means for different people in different context. I have never gone to University in Italy but know a fair bit about Italian universities as well. I’m happy to write this guide as I do remember how terrified I was when I moved to Scotland at the age of 20 with my American accent, a bag full of fears and an outrageous amount of hope for my future. I hope you can get at least one useful notion from this guide or worst-case scenario it will be a procrastination task to read all of this from the actual work that you need to do.
