💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students. All ratings and reviews are taken on 21st January 2026.

Miriam Munzone

Not recommended even to your worst enemy. It's incredibly disorganized, the administration doesn't take you into consideration, and the professors treat you with absolute contempt and superiority. It's overflowing with ignorance and arrogance. The mistake of my life.

Sumit Roy

Good university. The central building is historical and could have been a museum. The central old building is for department of law and department of economics along with the rector office. There are also a few other administrative offices. …

Vania Venuti

Student administration, information points, and TFA staff are lazy, rude, and incompetent. They deliberately mislead, wasting time and opportunities for study and work. Inspections should be conducted to verify the actions of these people. …

Emanuele Bernava

The best university in the world. The best students in the world. The best professors. The only flaw is the minister and the rector; they should listen to students more, instead of engaging in politics. With the Green Pass anomaly and the …

Orazio G.

It's a disgrace, with zero meritocracy, and despite declining enrollment and dropouts, they continue to follow the wrong path. Consider that several professors/barons refuse to allow grades to be rejected during exams, and all this is met …

Luca Migliorato Scrittore

It's a shame I can't give it zero stars. I had to leave this university, and after years of sacrifice, I can say that those four gentlemen who speak highly of it only do so because, unable to see beyond the end of their noses, they are so …

Ahmed Ali

This is where the official head office of the University of Messina located at the center of Messina at Sicily in South Italy. The University of Messina is one of the oldest European universities where the Southern, Northern, Eastern and …

Manuela Garufi

Excellent university. The economics curriculum is well thought out and tailored to future career opportunities. The faculty is knowledgeable and available for support and discussion. Unlike other universities, I have found great humanity …

Silvio Lisitano

When events occur that require the outdoor pool to be closed to the public, users must be notified by email. As of November 11, 2023, this was not done. Furthermore, the existing changing rooms should be made available for outdoor use to …

Sofia Amoroso

I've been trying to contact the office for days. No one has ever bothered to answer. Terrible organization. Emails sent and ignored; they didn't even stop to carefully read what was written, responding superficially and incorrectly to a …

andrew Tanguy

Horrible experience. I attended a doctoral program without a curriculum, I reported the problem, and was insulted and sidelined for years, while other doctoral students (professors' children) were treated with kid gloves. Certain unfair …

Rand

My Erasmus experience at the University of Messina was truly life-changing.
Living and studying in Italy allowed me to immerse myself in a new culture, meet people from all over Europe, and grow both academically and personally. The …

Amine Salhi

My daughter was accepted last year, but her visa took four months to arrive despite her Canadian DEC and her IB International Bachelor this year, which was supposed to be a simple formality (her re-enrollment). They're asking us for …

Stella

I can confirm what other users have written: one of the worst Italian universities, to be avoided like the plague. Choose a reputable university; your future and your happiness depend on it. I feel sorry for some professors who are …

Francesco Trimarchi

Unfortunately, there aren't zero stars because I would have given them.
I enrolled in nursing in 2020 and never passed any exams. As of today, 2024, I wanted to withdraw from my studies by paying the withdrawal fee, but it wasn't …

Sahil Nakrani

The University of Messina was founded in 1548 and enjoys a long tradition as a driving force in the Mediterranean area with a strong orientation towards interationalisation, innovation and quality of teaching and research.

Ale Bis

Having a phone conversation with the student office is practically impossible. Plus, they haven't responded to any of my emails... it's ridiculous to say the least!!! I wonder why those in charge aren't taking action.

Ozgur Ceylan

Rimma, the student ambassador from Unibuddy and a webinar speaker at the University of Messina, is truly an asset to the university.
Her kindness, honesty, and willingness to help others reflect the very best of …

Vincenzo Naymo

An excellent university, with excellent departmental structures, well-equipped and, above all, a university where excellent teaching is practiced in all branches of knowledge and in all disciplines.

Ex corsista

Specialization in support: phantom administration, nonexistent meritocracy. A disappointing experience from start to finish. I will no longer consider this institution for future training programs.

HABIB UR RAHMAN

The University of Messina ranks in the 801-1000 range for the QS World University Rankings 2022, among the top 500 universities for the quality of research, with a 32nd position at national level.

Timberland Yang (TAC you to travel)

The University of Messina, Italy ??
Walking from the cathedral, you'll come across another beautiful building, which is also one of Italy's oldest universities, founded in the 15th century. The …

Manuel Giofrè

The school building is old and in good condition. Improving it would take very little: renovate the bathrooms, provide soap and toilet paper, and improve the technology in the classrooms.

Diletta Floccari

Impossible to reach the student office. I called 34 times and received no answer this morning. I sent two emails in the space of a week and was ignored. Terrible organization.

Claudio Cavallaro

I graduated from my bachelor's degree in 2024, and I only have one thing to say: BE VERY CAREFUL WHO YOU PUT IN LEAD! (One star given just so I could write this review.)

La

The best decision I could have ever made was to pay to drop out of school after, alas, I only had six subjects left to complete my business administration program. …

Girolamo Aloe

A beautiful, ancient structure that's worth a visit, even just to explore.

Today, there are many other universities in Messina, but I remember people from …

Juan Zuñiga

The first university in the city and in Sicily. Founded by the Jesuits.
Miguel de Cervantes was hospitalized in its infirmary after the Battle of Lepanto.

Lisa Blanco

The facility is beautiful, but the secretarial staff are lacking in organization. It's impossible to ask for information or get clarification.

Kiran Ijaz

Its a good university give as soon as response. I hope I got admission in this university its my big dream. I belong to Pakistan.

Giuseppe Carbone

Poorly accessible, zero infrastructure.

The staff is there, but they're helpless in the endless stasis of a structure …

Trang ?inh

Great looking university but the website is so hard to use and really disorganized. Recommend to rebuild the website!!

Copy Point

A university, in my opinion underrated, with great potential, it remains a point of reference for Calabrian students.

Firdavs Ganiev

Actually the situation of university is not urban. But the university is great, has too many opportunities to study!

Alfonso Gianluca Gucciardo

Since 2000, it's been a real revelation for me. I had a great time at first, and I can still say the same today.

Ilaria Bulone

Terrible organization, I've only been going for a short while but I already want to run away. Think carefully.

Mario Barcello

The worst experience of my life. Only sycophants and conformists can say anything uncritically positive.

Licia Fischer

The Academy of the Pericolanti is a hall full of history that has recently been beautifully restored.

Salvo

Lately it seems to be in a state of abandonment, there is no longer the greenery it once was.

Claudio P

Gondolier! .. two tickets! A magnificent rector and a full-grown horse .. take us to Naples!

Giacinto Fornaro

Defined as one of the most important, and is easily accessible as it is in the center ? …

Claudio Mario Italiano

It's good but there's room for improvement, e.g. guest accommodation, study rooms, etc.

Vincenzo Sarta

The teachers are average, some deserve it, the student office is very poorly organised.

Nico (Nico)

A building from the unexceptional reconstruction of Messina after the 1908 earthquake.

Gustave Flaubert

Support for Unime? An ordeal: no secretariat, and favoritism instead of meritocracy.

Sachin Sachin

Tustion fee quite nominal as well as near the university all kind of facilities

Antonio Maimone

The restoration of the internal gardens, although partial, is excellent.

Concetto D Amico

But is it really possible that we have to wait 3 weeks for a ranking?

Gabriella Ruggeri

A beautiful evening of pleasant sensations based on tango!

Francesco Saitta

A University with a great history, looking to the future

Cristian Gazdac

A landmark of history and culture for the entire Sicily!
