hi katya! im a girl who was born and raised in bologna and ive always been deeply in love with this city. when i was a kid, ive always told myself "who knows how a tourist or a person not from bologna lives and sees my city": thanks to this video i have an answer. you live italy and this city as a person who falls in love with it every day, just like me and ive never been more touched by a video regarding my city before. i hope your life here but also anywhere else will go great, and maybe see you in bologna! !!new subscriber!!! take care xoxo

[@katyakrasnova]

@@sickviola hiii! you’re so lucky to be born here 🥹 and thank you for so many nice words! im really happy to live here at the moment and after being to many other cities in italy, nothing left such a great impact on me as bologna, i have no clue why !! of course there is rome, florence .. but i still would choose life in bologna over them haha. i like the people, the freedom in being yourself, the fact that there are many dogs, people living their life without hurrying anywhere, and the architecture omg !! the colors of the buildings, the portici… my favorite things ⭐️

[@sickviola]

@@katyakrasnova so true 🩷 i think that bologna is truly one of the few cities that are man-sized, where people can live its life at its fullest. hope to see you anytime in bologna 🩷

[@aybikyy]

I wish to be born here. And now, i hope to do my master's degree here🥺 You're so lucky to be burn here

6:45 As someone who draws a lot, I always keep a sketchbook in hand. Once I was feeling the start of an anxiety attack and simply begun to write every thought that passed through my mind- I cannot understate how much it helped me. Because I was writing, my thoughts slowed down; also, by putting them into words, it helped to make sense of what was disturbing me and- later on- helped to combat it. Wish you well

[@katyakrasnova]

thank you for sharing your experience! 💓 it does help me in much way than just writing whatever worries me in the notes app on my phone, but i also noticed that when i write on paper my thoughts slow down to the point that in the middle of the process i forget what i was even anxious and so emotional about, i don’t know if it’s okay :’)

[@rezashahpahlavi9774]

it seems like a heaven to me. i recently moved to istanbul and when i see how great bolognia is i just want to leave everything behind and go there. i actually am here for that.hopefully i will be in bolognia soon!

[@katyakrasnova]

but istanbul is amazing too! i’ve been there only once but fell in love with it right away 🥹 i don’t think i could ever say what’s better - bologna or istanbul hahah and good luck, i hope you make it soon to bologna

Hi dear katya.Hope you’re doing well. Just wanted to apply for university of bologna and I wanted to ask you if you think it is a good university and Bologna is a good and affordable city for students or not. Thanks in advance🌸

[@katyakrasnova]

@@Parmida.Ahmadi hi! as a university i think it’s good enough. the quality of education depends on the department you’ll be studying in :-) as a city for student life, it’s perfect: there are many free events going on every month, lots of museums, cafes etc. about affordability… the rent there is crazy! for such a small city, a single room costs minimum €500!

[@Parmida.Ahmadi]

@ Thanks a bunch for your help I really appreciate it.Altogether I think it can be a good option then🙏😍

[@theinfinityroute]

Hi Katya, could you please confirm if Bologna conducts interviews for international students before granting admission to master’s programs? I’m specifically planning to apply for a Master’s in Data Science and would love to know if an interview is part of the process. Thanks in advance! 😊

[@katyakrasnova]

@@theinfinityroute hello! 💫 it depends on the program you’re applying to. you can see whether you’re going to have an interview on the admission page of your program, there usually are also published the compulsory bibliography they’re conducting interview on, so you have to prepare

[@theinfinityroute]

@ thanks for your help. Have a great day.🤗

Do they offer programs in English?

@@hououinkyouma4248 hii! yes of course, i study in english for example :-) you need to show them a certificate of english knowledge of B2 minimum usually there are much more opportunities in italian, all information is easily accessible on unibo website

[@hououinkyouma4248]

@katyakrasnova I've just checked the site and there's no BA in philosophy program in English, maybe I have to learn italian.

Hi, I have currently received postgraduate offers in statistics from Bologna and Rome Sapienza University in Italy, which one do you think will be better? Which one would people find better in Italy? Thanks for sharing your video!

[@katyakrasnova]

hii, thank you for watching my video ⭐️ i don’t know if my question will be of any use to you because i didn’t apply to rome, since i didnt find anything interesting personally for me in their universities; i can talk a bit about the city itself: what i can say, is that finding a place to live, and probably for adequate price, is easier in rome. in bologna its very difficult and prices are equal to milan. however, bologna has its own vibe, university is the oldest one in the whole europe, and i really like studying here and living too! there are not so many tourists, the city itself is aimed at young people, the region of emiglia-romagna has a big budget (where bologna is located), so they always do many interesting activities for people here about universities: i think Italians themselves go to Unibo more often than to Sapienza because it probably is higher in universities ratings, but im not sure. i simply heard many times that unibo is more “elite” and “difficult to study at” in comparison to some other places :-)

[@localscarhead]

sapienza has a higher ranking but student life in bologna is way better

[@zhengdong-dg4uh]

@@katyakrasnova Thank you so much for your reply, you are really very sincere in sharing it with me, I have benefited a lot, I wish you all the best in your studies and happiness everyday.

[@alessandromezzanotte2934]

università di padova is considered the best for statistical sciences, but it's obviously not the same as living in rome. sapienza is incredibly disorganized though

[@Snowi.e]

actually I am thinking to study mbbs abroad and I don't know wich country i will go maybe china or Spain or italy wich one is good for living!

[@katyakrasnova]

@@Snowi.e I can speak only for Italy, and to study here is great, but don’t expect to find a job or even internship :-) even locals can’t do it and end up running away from here after graduation

[@katyakrasnova]

@@theconventschool9222 concerning the studies, it depends on the city and the field. and about the hijab, i don’t think you’ll have any problem, because there are a lot of muslim people coming from South Africa or the East to live or also study here, so it’s normal :-)

Hello, what are the job opportunities as a student in Italy?

[@katyakrasnova]

you need to know italian 100%, and it’s a very difficult situation in the job market here, as in any other country nowadays, but as for me, here it seems a bit worse, salaries are also not that high, everything’s based on some sort of nepotism 😅 that’s why many italians are leaving their own country to work and live abroad

[@katyakrasnova]

if your question was more about basic sort of job like a waiter, seller of something etc it’s also not that easy to find, because again, in 90% of cases you need to know italian, a document, which allows you to work (student residence permit gives you allowance only for 20 hours max / week), and most likely you’re going to work without any contract, so you’ll be getting paid “under the table” 😀 that information is from what ive heard so far from other students, and ive tried to look for a job myself these past two months and gave up for now

[@MehemmedC-mm8em]

Thanks for information. Studying and working are important to me, but I haven't decided which country will suit me.

[@katyakrasnova]

@@MehemmedC-mm8em what other countries are you considering?

[@MehemmedC-mm8em]

@@katyakrasnova UK is a good option and good for finding a job. But university prices are very high and scholarship opportunities are less for undergraduate students.
