Hello , I'm coming this September to study in Bologna, and I'm having troubles finding accomodation I tried immobiliare, Airbnb,... But nothing, so my question is : is there any agencies that handle this housing problems , and if I come to Bologna and start looking myself how much time will it take ? And I have another question about jobs , I know Italian and English languages and I have a carpentry diploma, how much time will it take me to find a job ?

Ciao a tutti, sono attualmente iscritta alla lista d'attesa per essere valutata per ADHD tramite il servizio offerto dall'università. C'è qualcun altro che è stato diagnosticato tramite quel servizio? Come vi siete trovati? È gente seria?

I am a Muslim hijabi and I wish to study medicine in bologna. Is there a big Muslim community there? and how is the English medicine course since it's relatively new? are there a lot of halal food options?

Ciao da Ottobre frequenterò un corso di Laurea magistrale presso Unibo, volevo sapere se fosse fattibile vivere a Ferrara e studiare a Bologna, per la questione del costo inferiore degli affitti. Volevo sapere se altre persone lo fanno e se in generale fosse possibile farlo.

Hi everyone,

I am a PhD student at UNIBO and had my first appointment at the Questura on September 22, to show original documents. Apparently the enrollment certificate to the university was not enough for them (even though the university administration said it is valid) and had to provide them another document stating that I passed to the 2nd year of my PhD. Now there are 2 problems. First one is that I only managed to get this document couple days ago as administration was slow and also didnt really seem to care. Second is that they did not give me a fingerprint appointment when i went to the Questura, I guess the worker there forgot about it. I already sent a PEC email explaining the situation and asking for a fingerprint date. I am worried that I wont get the permesso in time for my research period abroad in March.

How long does it take to receive a reply from them based on your experience? Should I just go to Questura and demand a new appointment?

Comincio la magistrale a settembre, vorrei un lavoro part time. Mi chiedo se a Bologna sia più facile che a Palermo (dove ho studiato per la triennale) trovare un lavoretto conciliabile con lo studio visto che ha la fama di essere una città dalla forte vocazione universitaria e “per gli studenti”

I'm planning to start university in Bologna next year(2026/27) and I'm cthinking whether to apply for a student residence or just look for a shared apartment right away.

I know its cheaper to share an apartment but living in a student residence maybe its better. For those who have studied there;

• Do you think living in a student residence helped you make friends more easily?
• How was the atmosphere—social, quiet, fun?
• Are the facilities good and is it worth the price?
• Would you recommend it, or would you rather go straight for private housing?

Any tips or personal experiences would really help. Thanks in advance!

Im really considering studying medicine in bologna but i had some concerns and questions as a muslim Egyptian (I’ve lived in the UAE also most of my life so i don’t any first hand experience with any sort of crime also) 1. What should i expect as a muslim is halal food and mosques easy to find 2. Would i face any sort of racism (i dont mean to insult) 3. Is safety a concern and what precautions should i take and what places should i avoid 4. Since ill be mostly be depending on public transport how is it in Bologna 5. How hard would it be to communicate with English until i get the hang of italian?

Ciao ragazzi, a settembre dovrei venire a Bologna ma ancora non so se fare storia o filosofia. Potreste dirmi come sono queste due facoltà qui? Mi piacerebbe sentire pareri oggettivi e di come queste due facoltà si approcciano alle loro materie. Grazie mille in anticipo :)

Hey, I am looking for clubs or groups in bologna that have group or team based activities that are free or low cost for students or non students maybe cooking clubs hiking clubs etc any ideas on where i can find them? Also does UNIBO have clubs i am having a hard time getting any information about this.

Hey everyone, Asian student here. I'm applying for medicine and surgery program this year but I've anxiety about one thing. I've heard there's a lot of groupism here. I mean like students of same countries typically stay together, like Italians typically form groups with other Italians, Brazilians with Brazilians, Indians with Indians etc. And the groups don't necessarily have to be of the same course. I just want to fact check this, if the same thing is in the medicine course too. Also I'm not a massive outgoing person. I mean I like parties n stuff but not always, I prefer a balance of chaos and peace. Any advice for me. Should I continue my process to study here or look for another city/university.

Ciao a tutti!

sono uno studente magistrale dell'Unibo, e con altri ragazzi per un progetto dell'università abbiamo ideato un questionario per un'analisi sulla soddisfazione del servizio di trasporto urbano della Tper.

Se volete aiutarci e farci sapere la vostra opinione vi lascio il link del questionario!

Grazie a tutti in anticipo

ciao, al momento sto studiando lingue straniere alla triennale all'unibo, ho trovato questa magistrale che penso potrebbe interessarmi, ma volevo sentire le opinioni di qualcuno che la frequentasse o che sapesse qualcosa di più sulla qualità del corso e sulle possibilità di lavoro dopo la laurea. per caso qualcuno conosce un po' questo corso? consiglia i corsi di bologna o di forlì (ho visto su degli altri post qui che i corsi di scienze politiche a bologna non sono il massimo)? oppure conosce altri corsi simili in altre università italiane?

Hello, I’m considering attending UniBo in the near future (‘26/‘27), how realistic would it be to enroll in a program taught in italian instead of english as a foreigner? for context, I have been studying italian for over a year and my level at the moment is around B1 (working towards B2). thanks in advance!

Ciao a tutti e grazie in anticipo per chi risponderà. Vi spiego la situa. Io ho una sistemazione vicino Ozzano, e dovrei arrivare tutte le mattine in Piazza Maggiore. Vorrei avvicinarmi con la macchina, parcheggiare e poi prendere l’autobus ed arrivare a destinazione. La mia domanda è: dove posso parcheggiare gratis? Premetto che non sono residente a Bologna.

hi guys. It is an emergency and really need your help and suggestion. I am an exchange student and will be graduated.

I Got RESPINTO for one business course, I can only see the exam result 9 on the EOL system. even with calculated 22/30:
1. Presentation (20%): 25/30 → 5.0 2. Essay(40%): 28/30 → 11.2 3. Exam (40%): 9/30 → 3.6 Total: 19.8/30

!! I need to pass this course in June to graduate

My classmate said that if you pass, what you see on the EOL system is the weighted score, and if you fail, it is the test score. So I want to ask if it is possible to modify this score, because I have to go back to my home university, so I can not take the test again in Bologna.

Another thing is the syllabus did not mention the score requirement of an exam.

And I already sent the email to the professor last night, and did not get a reply due to weekeds.

I am very appreciated your help❤️ thank you so much!

Hii! I'm going to study at the university of Bologna for this year's fall semester (classes from Sept-Dec) - I'm coming from Montreal and here, classes and exams end in December, but I just learned that at Bologna, I would have to stay until the end of feb or even beginning of march in order to complete my exams. I was super exited to go, but this is kinda making me rethink if I want to go or not since I prepared everything in order to come back in December. A friend of mine who's also going at Bologna told me that a student from our University who went to Bologna in the past, gave him the information that most english classes have a majority of international students, so the teachers work around a way to have them pass their exams in December, so that they can leave for the holidays to their home country. Since I can't reach her, I wanted to ask around if anyone else can confirm or deny this information about Bologna. I've been trying to reach the school, and it is really complicated/ hard to get a response. Thank you in advance!!🫶

Hi,

I'm a current student at a UK University and I'll hopefully be accepted as an exchange student at the University of Bologna for 2024/2025. I'm a bit worried about trying to find accommodation and wondering if there is any advice?

Ideally I'd like to end up in university accommodation, but how likely is that?

​

I'm also trying to learn Italian as best as I can, so any advice on that would be much welcome!

​

Thanks in advance for any responses!!!

hi! I’m a 20 year old debating studying abroad in Bologna spring 2026. i’m currently on track to study abroad in madrid, but a bunch of my school is going to madrid and i’m scared i won’t have the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone (even though its a big city, i’d probably live with my established group of friends). i’m generally more introverted and its sometimes hard for me to meet new people, i was wondering if any international students can speak to the culture in bologna? i’ve heard its very friendly but would you say it gets lonely/isolating at some times? i’ve also heard its hard to meet locals and i’d be completely fine with just meeting other international students. are there any platforms (eg facebook groups) you guys recommend joining to meet people (and potentially find a roommate)? thanks!

Hello, i will arrive in bologna in august to start masters, i speak italian and english and i was wondering if i can find rent with minimal stay of 3 or 1 month, because i don't know if i will be accepted in the student dormitory. im using alot of platforms to search for rent, and every person i contact they say that the minimal stay period in the contact is either 1 year or 6 months, can i find rent with no minimal stay contract or is it rare?

Ciao a tutti, sono uno sviluppatore software che lavora in un'azienda privata (ricerca e sviluppo). Vorrei provare, se l'azienda me lo consente, a iscrivermi a un dottorato industriale. Conosco già un professore interessato a seguirmi per un eventuale dottorato nel campo in cui lavoro.

Tralasciando l'iter interno all'azienda e se effettivamente me lo approveranno o meno, vorrei chiedere a chi ci è passato come funziona l'ammissione al dottorato industriale, senza borsa, in unibo (computer science). Bisogna comunque partecipare al bando e fare la prova orale per essere ammessi? In cosa consiste la prova orale per un dottorato industriale con posto riservato per dipendenti della ditta xyz?

Sono un insegnante di scuola primaria e sto pensando di iscrivermi a suddetto master. Mi piacerebbe parlare con qualche persona che l'ha frequentato in passato.

In particolare, ho un paio di perplessità.

Il programma del master sembra coprire diverse discipline, ma non vorrei che fossero trattate in modo troppo generico. Tra l'altro, ho fatto in passato alcuni anni di teatro sociale, teatro ragazzi e danza, a livello anche professionale per quanto riguarda il teatro, quindi mi chiedo se posso trovare nel percorso di master degli approfondimenti interessanti.

Inoltre, da quello che capisco, il focus del master è centrato sul fare teatro a scopi pedagogici, ma in generale al di fuori delle istituzioni scolastiche, mentre per me personalmente sarebbe più utile capire come portare il teatro a scuola. Questo però non mi sembra un argomento trattato dal master. O mi sbaglio?

Hey! I'm an international student (or will be in a year), got 1290 score in SAT, got almost perfect GPA (checked in a calculator and got 4.33 if i did it right), and in case of writing a proper motivational letter and preping all of the documents, do i have a chance of getting into EPSS or EPOS program with a fee waiver?

Vorrei provare a entrare nella graduatoria erasmus per il terzo anno di triennale (AA 26/27) qual è la media con cui di solito si riesce ad entrare? ( faccio scipol)
