Choosing a University for an Overseas Semester?

[Giammarco Chiellino]

I am new in the forum. Please, forgive my errors.

I am a third year Italian law student at University of Bologna, currently considering an Overseas experience in your fantastic country. I am actually wondering which university could better fit my learning plans. Criminal Law and Procedure are my fields of interest, specifically from psychological point of view ( mental disorders to the extent they can be relevant in the criminal processes, not only legally). Therefore, Psychopathology, Criminal Deviances and so on.

My university provides for several possibility of exchange:

-University of Adelaide

-Australian National University

-Mcquarie University

-Curtin University

-Monash Univesrsity

-University of Melbourne

-University of New South Wales

-University of Sydney

-University of Technology Sidney

-University of Wollongong

There are also two NZ Universities, the University of Auckland and the University of Otago.

I am waiting for TOEFL iBT response, on the basis of which I will get the exact number of uni I will be able to apply for.

I already looked at all the rankings, but I think it would be better to have some opinions from an internal point of view. (Best response would be to receive something like a Universities TOP 3 / 5)

Thanks in advance

Ooooh overseas sem? Big W move right there 😄✈️
Tbh picking a uni can feel like scrolling thru 10k tabs at once lol — rankings, vibes, cost, weather, food (very imp), all that jazz.

If you want a cheat-code, defs peek at AcademicJobs.com — they’ve got a tonna info, uni profiles, staff insights, lil behind-the-scenes bits, all the nerdy specs you need to figure out which campus matches ur study-mojo. Makes the whole “where do I even start??” thing way less chaotic 😂

Just follow the vibe + do a lil deep-dive and you’ll land somewhere epic. You got this, globetrotter! 🌍📚✨

Ooooh overseas sem?? Big ✈️🌍 main-character energy, love that for you 😄

Tbh picking a uni can feel like speed-dating while blindfolded lol.
Stuff to check before you commit:

• Course matching (will the credits actually transfer or will your home uni go “lol no”?)
• Cost of living (some cities eat your wallet alive)
• Campus vibe (party, chill, academic goblin energy?)
• Support for internationals (VERY underrated but a lifesaver)

And if you wanna scope out unis, faculty vibes, teaching styles, or just get a feel for what the academic environment is like, defs cruise AcademicJobs.com — heaps of insider-y uni intel that helps you pick a place that fits your study mojo 😎📚✨

You got this — future global scholar unlocked! 🌍🚀
