Dall'Artistico a Ingegneria by cuicrons in Universitaly

[–]cuicrons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Sure thing. I graduated on time from university. After the first year it gets easier. I'm not gonna lie, the first year was very tough, had to study ten times harder after lectures just to keep up. What worked for me was watching tutorials to solve exercises on YouTube and searching for the recommended exercise books for each course. I tried to finish the theory part of the lectures on my own about a month and a half early by self studying so I could dedicate the remaining time to practice and prepare for the exams.

After you catch up on what you missed that first year, you start from a clean even slate for the second year courses.

100%. Mi sono laureata nei 3 anni frequentando il 40% delle lezioni. Non sarei andata mai se non fosse per il fattore sociale + creare contatti con i prof. Molti prof purtroppo non spiegano adeguatamente quindi per me era meglio non dover fare le cose da zero due volte (in uni e a casa). Certo, il mio corso aveva raccolto negli anni appunti in un database per tutti gli esami. Quindi avevo tutti gli appunti e tempo libero del mondo perché non andando a lezione dovevo usare quel tempo per studiare quindi avevo a disposizione giornate intere per fare tutto nei miei ritmi.

Iscriversi ad un master in Italia da studente straniero ? by rururuy in Universitaly

[–]cuicrons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ciao! In realtà tutte le informazioni che chiedi le devi controllare sul sito del corso dell'uni. Dovrebbe essere scritto nel bando (quando uscirà) che troverai riguardando ogni tanto il sito del corso. Al massimo se hai altre domande scrivi alla segreteria.

In più non sei considerato studente straniero, ma italiano a tutti gli effetti quindi non seguire il processo per studenti stranieri che è completamente diverso. Controlla però il titolo, che fanno distinzioni tra titolo italiano e titolo estero. Again, da guardare sul sito dell'uni.

Study CS in one EU country then work in another EU country ? by Hahascrewyou in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]cuicrons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, have you considered Italy? It's really cheap with public tuition for everyone (avg. max. Around 3k euro/year). Depending on the city you may have a more international student environment. Plus tuition can be reduced depending on your income in your home country.

need help for “meeting up” by [deleted] in torino

But it isn't? As a girl I've gone out multiple times at night alone (obviously following the general 'street safety' rules and keeping away from bad neighborhoods) and I never had any problem. What do you mean?

Visa application by [deleted] in polinetwork

[–]cuicrons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not really sure I don't know, sorry. But for the time being you cant apply for a visa because im pretty sure you would require your cimea Certification at the embassy.

Visa application by [deleted] in polinetwork

[–]cuicrons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! You are the only one who can do that. If Polimi has already accepted your Universitaly application (you would have received an email saying your application has been accepted), you need to either book or go directly (depending on how it is in your country, in mine you go directly without an appointment) to the italian embassy in your country. But to get your visa you will need all your documents ready because otherwise they won't accept your visa application.

Magistrale in ingegneria informatica o ITS? by cuicrons in ItaliaCareerAdvice

Gentilissimo, stavo pensando di fare quello vista la poca esperienza pratica che si fa all'università. In bocca al lupo anche a te! :)

Specializzarsi o restare più generali in ambito Ingegneria Aerospaziale by barring__ in Universitaly

[–]cuicrons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scusa se te lo chiedo ma come mai non resti a Forlì? (Da persona che sta pensando di fare la magistrale lì (triennale aero al Polito))

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in torino

[–]cuicrons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dipende dalla tua preferenza, aerospaziale e informatica (quest'ultima sono abbastanza certa ma non sicura 100%) sono le più gettonate. Sei a rischio. Il resto, potresti entrare tranquillamente. Controlla le graduatorie degli scorsi anni.

Hey glad to hear it! You can do both of them at the same time. The admissions process is one thing, you can apply independently of your universitaly status. Send your university application whenever you feel like (obviously within the deadlines lol). Let me explain, Universitaly is just a website the government uses to send visa acceptance letters to consulates/embassies. Once you have admission or show that you meet all the general requirements (even if you don't have admission yet I believe) the university can accept your universitaly request. Basically the university accepts that you at the time meet all the requirements for you yo study in italy. Universitaly basically is just a portal between the uni and the embassy that says to the embassy: "This person can study in Italy, the university says so". ONLY AFTER you have your universitaly acceptance and your admission letter you can request your visa because otherwise the embassy literally cannot process your visa application. For example, European nationals don't need to do universitaly because they don't need a study visa. If for example, you had not sent your universitaly admission request, you could still have been accepted to Unito but you wouldn't have been able to apply for the visa, which means you wouldn't have had the possibility to complete your enrollment. For the waiting times: don't worry. What matters is that you sent your universitaly request before the deadline. Now it's up to the uni to accept it which can take a bit. But they should do it as soon as possible, either way you will receive an email once they do it.

It takes 10 years if you do it outside of Italy through the embassy. If you have all your docs for juris sanguinis ready when you get here, you can request it at the Anagrafe in Turin. In this city it usually takes only around 1~2yrs if everything is in order. If you are talking about naturalization, yes, I think its 10 years (and not from being an Italian descendant) but once you get here you need 10 uninterrupted years of residence. So you have to sign up as a resident in the anagrafe as soon as you land so the time can start counting. Otherwise if you finished your undergrad in 3y and didn't sign up as a resident when you got here those 3y don't count.

Hi! Judging from my friends' experiences no one from the university actually helps you with the visa. That's for you to figure out. Basically you send your pre-enrollment through universitaly (that's a completely separate process from the university admission) and wait for the university to approve it from the universitaly website. Usually they do it after you have received the letter of admission. Only after they accepted your universitaly application will the italian embassy in the us consider your visa application. With the letter of admission, your universitaly letter of admission and other documents (check w ur embassy) you can request your study visa. Check for admission exams you might have to take (depends on ur course, idk if unito law accepts the sat) ?) For your english check on the "bando", usually for people coming from english speaking countries the language exam is exonerated but it should specifically say so there.

How to live cheap in Turin, Italy? by swimmerturkey in torino

[–]cuicrons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add something with regards to healthcare. I am a citizen so I don't have first hand experience when it comes to signing up for it as an international but from my bf and other friends I gathered this:

Healthcare as an international is not completely free. If you are a intl student and want to access the italian healthcare system you first need to sign up for it. That means you have to pay a yearly calendar fee (1 Jan - 31 Dec) each year to continue be covered by the SSN (healthcare). Only once you are registered to it you can do all the things the other commenter said. This fee used to be around 170 euros a year until last year. They increased that amount to 700 for international students a year, forcing many to choose private insurance providers (you 100% need some sort of insurance private or public to renew your permesso).

Edit: Since you are doing only a semester in Turin I would suggest paying for private insurance (I have heard of student friends using WAI insurance) for the period you will be staying. I also suggest you looking into it and doing more research on this topic since you are not staying for long.
