I'm Gerson, I'm 19 years old. I come originally from Ecuador 🇪🇨
I'm a current student of Ca' Foscari University of Venice. My bachelor's is in Philosophy, International, and Economic Studies. I have chosen this bachelor's since at a very early age I was engaged in the United Nations club, and has been my dream to study this specific program. It was very surprising that here in Italy they offer this interdisciplinary course and without any doubt, I applied. The preparation was not really difficult, because as I mentioned before, I was in the UN club and the exam admission was related to problems around the world.
The process of getting the visa was a little bit complicated but with the assistance of the ApplyItaly team, I did it. Especially for, me coming from Ecuador, the bureaucracy with the embassy was terrible due to the fact that COVID-19 didn't allow me to make the process normally.
The assistance of the Applyitaly team was quite good because they were always available to help me especially while I was looking for the room, and sometimes that's hard since everything is super new here and we are not familiar with this new environment.
I like Italy, the culture, the historic places and being in Europe, in general, is extremely great! You meet people from all around the world. Italy is a multicultural place, so it's easy to find many diverse people here. Right now, I'm studying in Venice and it's crazy the idea to walk every day through the streets to which many amazing people have been.
The University is great because as they offer many exchange programs, all of them make the effort to understand you and help you with everything you need.
I recommend this agency because they helped me with all the processes which indeed is extremely overwhelming.
