    I took 3 courses, including a studio. I recommend the “Drawing of Science” course, which is part of the fashion design track. It offers a high level of skill in drawing and understanding proportion. The level of studies depends on how much the student invests, as the degree here is for a master’s, not a bachelor’s, meaning much of the learning is self-guided.

    I recommend the advanced studio in the landscape architecture track, as the academic level is noticeably lower than at the Technion.
  • Campus Life, Activities, Culture, etc.:
    The studies take place in a building in the city center, not on the main campus, so campus social life wasn’t very noticeable. However, there are many platforms, like WhatsApp groups, where students organize activities.
  • General Feedback:
    Feel free to contact me. My message is that at Sapienza, the studies are secondary to the overall experience of the city and country, as the courses are not very engaging or innovative.

  During my stay at Sapienza University of Rome, I enrolled in three courses, including a studio course that became the highlight of my semester. This course encouraged collaboration and innovation by participating in the international C40 Architecture Competition, where our team proudly achieved third place worldwide. This accomplishment was a defining moment that strengthened my confidence and academic growth as an architecture student.
• Campus Life, Activities, Culture, etc.:
  Living and studying in Rome has been a truly transformative and unforgettable experience. The city’s rich history, vibrant culture, and inspiring atmosphere made it the perfect setting for my exchange semester. Beyond academics, the daily life in Rome broadened my perspective on the world and allowed me to step outside the familiar. I would strongly recommend Rome and Sapienza University to anyone looking to challenge themselves, gain new experiences, and think outside the box. Another enriching aspect of the exchange was the opportunity to meet and collaborate with students from all over the world. These friendships and cultural exchanges extended my learning far beyond the classroom. Additionally, being based in Rome made it easy to travel across Europe, giving me the chance to explore new places and experience different perspectives.
• General Feedback:
  my exchange semester was a wonderful, life-changing journey that combined academic achievement with personal growth, and I will always carry these experiences with me. I am truly thankful for the scholarship that made this opportunity possible, and for the chance to grow both personally and academically through this program.
• Message to Future Students:
  never be afraid to try something new. Take each day as it comes and truly enjoy your stay while it lasts, because this is one of the rare moments in life where you can freely meet new people, discover new places, and grow- without the many responsibilities that usually come later on.
