If you’re looking for a university with a small town feel in Italy, you could try out the Università di Cassino, in Italy’s south.
The university is in the small town of Cassino, which is two hours from Rome and an hour and a half from Naples.
The town itself is famous for Montecassino, a benedictine abbey that was damaged by German troups in the second world war, although it’s an impressive sight now with some great views.
Positive aspects of the university include a closer relationship with teaching staff, a more laid back atmosphere and a good number of students without being over crowded.
While there’s not a huge choice of faculties, plenty of students come from outside Cassino itself as they want to escape the frenetic pace of universities in Naples and Rome, although if you’re looking for the city party life, Cassino is probably not the place for you.
