 Social Life

Apart from its academic mission, the University is also a meeting point, a centre for discussion and social interaction.

On campus, under the pine trees, you will meet other students who will tell you about the many different activities available: sport, artistic and cultural activities, entertainment, and introductory courses of all kinds.

The University is also a place for discussion,  and involvement in civic affairs, in which you can participate as a member of one of the many clubs or as an elected representative on one of the three university councils.
