Italy has long been a hotspot for international students with tens of thousands flocking to this picturesque peninsula every year to study at leading schools such as Fondazione Alma Mater, Rome Business School, Free University of Bozen Bolzan, University of Parma, University of Trieste, University of Siena.

Although Italy does not come in the category of the most affordable cities to live in but the kind of exposure and experience it serves you is worth it all. It is one of the vibrant places to live in connecting to all major European countries and smaller cities, and being a travel enthusiast you would love your time spent there.

While international students do not have access to tuition-free higher education, tuition fees do tend to be affordable, especially at public universities. Additionally, scholarship funding is available both through the government and individual universities, offering a far flung range of programs and courses to choose from.
