You seem like a very kind and lovely girl, but you spent a couple of months in the smallest, most expensive and touristy region of Italy and travelled only in the most touristic city of the country. So how can you use that experience to judge an entire continent?
Europe is around 10.18 million km², while Liguria is only about 5,420 km². You were living in a tiny little town that, during the summer, is mainly populated by wealthy tourists. I’m saying this because I come from a place very similar to that, and I know how it works: prices go up during the summer because businesses try to make as much money as possible from tourists. And, by the way, Ligurians are famously not exactly fond of tourists 😂 If you look it up, you’ll find thousands of memes about it.
Travelling and living abroad is supposed to broaden your mind, but you judged an entire continent based on a very short experience in one of the smallest and most tourist-oriented parts of one country.
And if someone complained about Italian universities, it’s probably because they are genuinely difficult. They can certainly be complicated bureaucratically, but academically they are very solid. In fact, Erasmus students who come to Italy often struggle with the workload and the system at first.
So yes, maybe Italian universities could be improved in some ways, but I’d still take them over American universities that apparently manage to graduate people who don’t even know the difference between Italy and Europe 😭 TikTok is literally full of videos of people who have no idea what Europe actually is.
A little more travelling before judging an entire continent might be a good idea.
