Beatrice Savoldi

Visiting Student Researcher, October-December 2018

I was able to spend 3 months at the University of Calgary, where I went thanks to the call for thesis research. The University of Calgary can certainly boast an extremely dynamic and international educational environment, made up of helpful and attentive professors, who encouraged me in my research and included me in stimulating activities: conferences, literary festivals and collaborations with the Circolino (Italian Centre). The administrative, faculty and library staff accompanied and suppoerted me in every request, sometimes even anticipating any eventual needs. The Campus is also a very different experience from the way we are used to experiencing university. It is, in fact, a very informal space designed to provide students with a wide range of services, starting with housing, dining and sports facilities, study rooms open 24 hours a day, references for advising and counselling of all kinds, hosting theatres where dance and music performances are held, and cultural associations that organise leisure activities. Less than two hours' drive away are the Rocky Mountains, a scenic wonder where the natural parks of Banff and Jasper are a must-see. Although I believe that any experience abroad, which takes us out of the confines of our comfort zone, is a unique opportunity to test ourselves, in particular I believe the University of Calgary is an excellent destination and I consider myself lucky to have had this opportunity.

In a word: growth. Primarily personal, because you have to leave your attachments behind, but becoming independent and being able to fend for yourself is priceless. It is a place where everyone can find their own way. The educational offer is wide and the many skills you can acquire are very important for getting into work. It is definitely a financial investment in our studies but it turns into a springboard for a career.

The practical approach and socretic method allow you to acquire skills that will prove to be an asset once you return home. The university is perfect for a full American college experience: the environment is multicultural, but personally I felt at home form day one. This experience allowed me to learn to understand other cultures without taking any point of view for granted; it was also an opportunity to develop introspection.

The Erasmus+ ICM (International Credit Mobility) experience turned out to be one of the best "events" I have undertaken. The host university, The University of Colorado at Boulder was exceptional in every way. Indeed, apart from having a number of excellent community facilities and a wonderful Anglo-Saxon syle campus, the members of the department where I was staying were extremely welcoming and helpful towards me.

Virginia Tech is more than a university, it is a family. The campus is designed so that there is interaction between the students. The accomodations are close to where classes are held and in the middle there is a huge garden where events, concerts, sports and more are organized. I would never have believed that I could bond with so many people from all over the world. If I had the opportunity, I would go back to Virginia Tech now.

WashU Law is an incredible university in a very quaint Midwestern town. The educational opportunities offered by the LL.M. programme are unique: courses with American students, extracurricular activities at the courthouse, participation in competitions between American universities and, above all, the possibility of practising in the States by taking the Bar Exam. All of this accompanied by sorroundings and facilities that have nothing to envy to Hogwards Castle!
