Hi! Well speaking of public schools Bologna and Forlì for the International studies and diplomatic course are two of the best uni's in italy.
If I'd have choose between Bologna and Forlì id pick Bologna because its one of the most beautiful town in italy, has a lot of cool gigs and stuff. eheh. :biggrin:
But Its also really expensive, so id suggest you to go for Forlì(small and super-nice town).
In italy almost every public university(with some exeptions) is really good but private unis(Bocconi, LUISS, LUMSA and Cattolica) are by far the better ones.
If money is not a problem for you, you should definitely go to the LUISS uni in rome.
If you need any further informations, just ask. =)

I heard that the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa is the best uni in Italy for humanities and pure science. Is this true?

yes it is. together with Sant'Anna(which is in Pisa too and is the best for law and one of the best for political sciences). They're like the italian Oxbridge. To entry to The Normale you must be a proper geek and you will recieve free housing, free lunches and dinners, and a monthly salary! Among its alumni there are nobel prize winners, politicians.... :smile:

Hi Nicocanch

Uni Bologna is defo a wonderful university in many fields and I know many people who went there found it quite challenging and interesting.
(Even architecturally, it's really nice! :biggrin:)

The Collegio Superiore of Bologna is somewhat similar to the Sant'Anna and Normale in Pisa, with a separate admission process.

The international studies campus in has a very strong reputation, as it's very close to the famous SAIS graduate school of international studies
(---> common events, contacts, networks, etc.)

Mmm Ive found that website. Useful, good work :smile: What do we think is better, studying in English or the native language (even if you're not a master of it) ?
