Every single point that you talked about (for good or bad) it is very true. Thanks for that. There has always been a love and hate relationship between me and Italy.

[@tommasofreschi6467]

I'm Italian (born and bred in Rome) and I'm currently spending my last two years of high school in Canada and honestly, coming here was shocking, it's crazy how accepting people are here. I can't thank you enough for addressing the racism issues in Italy, as, not only is there obvious racism, but there is plenty of subtle and "innocent" looking racism in Italy that completely gets ignored by people because of many's mindsets. I have heard and read many "harmless" jokes in Italy, and all they did was make most of my friends grow up racist and/or very prejudice towards other ethnicities or cultures. I wanna acknowledge the many people, some of my age group even, who have been doing work to make this better and honestly, I hope that throughout the rest of my life I'll see a change in Italian's people's mindset.

[@soulsontrack]

Thank you for your honesty. It's crucial for people of colour to be aware of the realities of living and studying long-term in Europe. I live in the UK and have never experienced racism there, but I was taken aback by the racism I encountered during a hiking trip in Europe. The questions and comments from fellow European hikers were shocking. While some remarks were overtly racist, many others didn't even recognise their behaviour as racist when I confronted them!

[@symm3582]

I am a 5th year student in Italy and honestly it has been a never ending nightmare for me. I do not mean to offend anyone, I'm sure many others have had wonderful experiences. This here is just what I have experienced. - It's incredibly racist, people will go out of their way to inconvenience you and treat you like shit. - The systems like the post office, immigration office, communes and other government buildings are unimaginably disorderly, dysfunctional and borderline trying to fuck you over if you're not a local. - Getting permessos, ISEE, health insurance, carta di identita, hell even your codice fiscale is traumatising. There is no communication between the different offices. Do not trust the documentation and rules for applications etc that you find online on the government websites because the people at the office will come up with documents that are not even listed/cannot be obtained by non EUs and ask you for those. You can show them the government sites and they'll just insult you and kick you out. (A Dutch Eu citizen friend of mine couldn't not open an italian bank account because the bank worker demanded she get a permesso di soggiorno ,which is ONLY for non EU people) -Most (not all) landlords will not provide you with the required house documents/registered rental agreements that you will need for your permesso, carta di identita etc in order to evade tax, yes tax fraud by landlords is very common so it's very difficult finding a good house in your desired price range and location. - The professors, imo from my experiences and experiences of my international friends from various med schools around italy, are pretty bad. Most of the profs have terrible English. A lot of them are racist and treat the English course students way worse than the Italian course ones. Very little professionalism (they freely use derogatory terms and insults like r*etard and very informal words and tone), low teaching standards, subpar education and no proper study structure. There's almost no accountability for their behaviour so this problem never gets fixed and students refrain from putting forth complains because that ends up as academic suicide. - The exams are one on one oral so the difficulty level of exams for all the students is usually very different and almost always unfair depending on the prof. Chances are if you're a POC or visibly LGBTQ+ or the prof simply doesn't like your face that day, you'll probably get wayyyy more difficult questions or even failed on purpose. (I have seen people get the same question where one person passes with flying colours after answering barely anything and another giving a much better answer and still getting failed) And don't dare point out the unfairness of the professors because that's just a guarantee that you won't be passing that subject for atleast a couple of sems. There are a few good, as in what's considered normal, professors though but they're a minority. - As the video said, there's almost zero practical teaching, no cadavers and lab teaching either. - Do not try to speak even the slightest bit of criticism about their food or culture etc, they will rage. At the same time expect italians to be freely insulting and condescending to your culture, country, food etc. Do not argue with them, they'll just go on to insult you more. Imo, it's an amazing place to vacation but definitely not living long term. Most of my international friends have quit because they couldn't bare to live and study here. I stayed because i don't really have another option and have invested too much time and money here. But hope mamy other people have had and will have better experiences than mine.

[@desdinova1137]

I am a white Italian guy, even if not straight, so not a MBEB (Italian term). Even if you speak Italian, if you're black you're gonna be discriminated against: I see it from a black friend born and raised in Italy, by her Italian mother. If you're, for example, from East Asian you're gonna get discriminated against too, but it's a little bit different. Black people in Italy usually come from Africa and, because of social problems (lack of working reception centers and difficulties into getting employed, for example), they end up resorting to petty crimes or even prostitution. Italians do have this image about black people, seeing them as dangerous, for example, but it's not the US, and it's not by any means easy to get killed by the police etc. It is not by any means an excuse, but it's to portray how you're gonna be seen, and I can imagine it's not fun in any way. I can still tell you that there are exceptions, and you can find your own safe bubble even among Italian friends. I studied foreign languages in Turin, and my group consisted of a 2nd generation Vietnamese, one girl from Sri Lanka that could speak a bit of Italian but usually wrote messages in English, and other Italian girls. Furthermore, I befriended an Afghan guy and some Chinese girls while at univesity. Am I an exception? Maybe, but just to tell you that there is hope, and you should take as a rule that Italy is a racist country, but not that you're gonna be alone and excluded.

It's not racism but is a sort of of preventive alarm (prejudice) due the recent immigration. In fact 1/3 of crimes according to police data are committed by strangers despite they are only 8,5% (EU citizens and Asians included) and the large majority from determinated community not Eu and not from Asia. 39% of sexual assault are committed by strangers for example and so on (and the majority - 61% - from italians obviously because they are 91,5%) That's why they watch over you or your friends suspiciously. But if they hear you speaking with french, spanish, german, english or american accent they immediatly stop to do this. The non theorical application depends from the organization of the University where You are. Italian students know wich one choose for this aspects.

Hello plz help am 4th year medical student studing in Ukraine, can u plz tell me if I can continue in Italy , plzzzzz replay this is urgent

[@zuhajabeen3608]

It can b a silly question but can you say me that why does the completion of medicine in Italy takes 6 years when the theory based part is done in 4 yrs nd 1 year of internship which wud b total of 5 yrs..then why 6 years in Italy??please do say❤️

[@AcadIMAT]

Theory is not done in 4 years, preclinical is done in 3 so there's a difference. Almost all undergraduate degrees will either be 5 or 6 years. Classically MBBS is a 5 year degree, with additional training required to obtain the MD title. In Italy we do an MD directly so it is 6 years.

What are the minimum grades you need to have obtained in the Advanced llevel,,/Edexcel to be eligible to apply to study medicine?

[@maddox0905]

If I’m not mistaken - those really don’t matter. I did CAIE A Level and worked my butt off because I knew Medicine and Surgery is a competitive course to get into regardless of the university or country it’s offered in. I got ABBC if you were wondering. Then my parents suggested Italy because it’s inexpensive and a easy-to-get-scholarships country. The Italian embassy merely needs proof that I completed 12 years of education (it’s to make a DoV or something, I’m not too sure - my parents are dealing with those tedious tasks, I couldn’t be bothered). That’s it. That’s all my A Level qualification is to the Italian medical universities because the only thing that matters is the IMAT score - which will determine admission. I guess in a way I could have an advantage because the IMAT papers are conducted in conjunction with Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing… and my A Level examination board was Cambridge Assessment International Education… so I do note many similarities in the exam papers when it comes to the styling of the questions. The IMAT is actually significantly easier than CAIE A Level, by the way.

I am Italian and I don't understand why Italy is considered a racist country, obviously there are racist people, but they are a minority and they are mostly elderly people. When I think of the United States, I think there is much more racism. I think that on the subject of racism we are similar to other European countries, not better, not worse. What strikes me as strange is that in other countries it seems that there is no racism, but I doubt it (Surely part of the population is intolerant due to illegal immigration coming mainly from Libya, This feeds racism)

[@monicalampugneani7296]

i dunno about US but i definitely have faced a lot of racism from my classmates and professors. And they're obviously not "elderly" ppl. And also some ppl I met at street. Instead of asking Italians if they're racist or not,,ask foreigners. And amount of racist ppl isnt as minore as u r saying.

Racismo, fascista, Italians are the embodiment of racism. Especially to black people.

[@jdancer7376]

I am a person of color and I have been to both the US and Italy and I will say that Italy felt way more racist. I was more scared to visit the US because they are always on the news about racism but I honestly felt extremely accepted and like all the people were friendly. I think they just don’t put Italy’s racism on the news as much.

I understand that we could get enough experience practically by being proactive but attending the classes of heavily theory things and then revising it do you get enough time to do these practical works beside the college by your own?? And do they offer to do these practicals easily if you want to do like don't they discriminate at that point maybe that's why you told you are lacking the practical knowledge and how would one become a good doctor without the basic human body practicals? Please tell
