💬 Student Reviews

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

francesco talarico

Functional architecture. Paid parking is available, which is truly useful. The waits for medical appointments are too long, despite the technological advances, resulting in too much downtime. The healthcare staff is competent and friendly. The organization could be improved, but overall, it's more than adequate.

Giovanni F

Polyclinic with good doctors, externally very confusing due to parking and other things... but internally each department has its own fairly good management. Ticket office 4 people for about 300/400 users per day. Obviously the payment via pagopa service often does not work... waits of 1/3 hours.

Giovanni David

Highly discouraged if you're looking for a place to receive treatment and have a good chance of recovery; death is almost a certainty. If your problems are of the heart, looking elsewhere is a must. Calabria will always be a chronic health disaster. One star only because you can't give it zero.

Maurizio Santise

Excellent hospital and university medical facility... The only flaw I found is that you have to follow the colored dots on the ground to get to the right department and floor... The internal signage is too limited... But overall the doctors are good, and they make themselves understood...

Francesco Lazzaro

Shameful. Years to issue a degree certificate. They justify themselves by saying it's the fault of the printing company they outsourced. The usual Italian-style passing of the buck. They've been punctual in collecting university fees in the past. I'll get them to the press.

Daniele Raimondo

Very recent university with a cutting-edge structure located a short distance from the historic center of Catanzaro and easily accessible from the whole region. Various faculties, including medicine, with an adjoining polyclinic. The area …

Patrizia Baggio

A Calabrian excellence that should be valued much more. I emphasize this as a pure-blooded Milanese who made a life choice to emigrate in reverse 37 years ago and who has tried and still tries as much as possible not to go elsewhere for his …

Nicola Barreca

It takes courage to call it a "university." The main building isn't easy to reach, the secretarial services still need to be updated, they probably don't know how to open an email, and for any need you have to go and wait in line in person, …

Verónica López Petrone

I don't know about the university itself; it might be excellent, but the medical care is terrible. I was there all day (with a scheduled appointment), and the doctor who saw me said, "We don't know when you can have surgery." Oh, and it's a …

Daniela Sirianni

See you soon. I'm Brazilian and I'll be leaving São Paulo for Rome. I hope to meet you soon. I've dreamed of this since I was born. A big hug. My whole life I've been preparing for this. I'm going in search of my father's house and a photo …

Paolo Marraffa

I graduated in Business Organization in 2015. Several professors examined me, some of whom are outstanding and whom I fondly remember, such as Professor Vittorio Daniele of Political Economy, Professor Maria Luisa Chiarella of Private Law, …

Giovanni Ghigliotti

I attended this facility for a medical conference. The auditorium is very beautiful, with excellent sound and projection systems. Access to the room, however, is not very easy; the foyer is small, undersized compared to the room behind it. …

Mirko Toto

A terrible experience. I've never made a worse choice in my life than enrolling in university. The curriculum is inadequate—they'll call it "general knowledge"—and the professors will treat it like a textbook, so that it never touches on …

Antonio Celi

The university is generally good, but the main services around the hospital, such as shops and tobacconists, are completely lacking. Furthermore, the public transportation service is of abysmal quality, as we travel on only a few trips a …

Luigi Messina

Unfortunately we are forced to go to this kind of hospital, but nothing works, the parking already seems like the worst neighborhoods in the Bronx, you have to waste an hour looking for one and then leave the car in a double park with a …

S. Marco

It's shameful. For over a month (precisely since mid-November 2018, and today, December 13, 2018), I've been trying to speak to someone at the Law School student office, but they never answer my phone. I sent two emails to two addresses …

Antonio Mirarchi

Day 08/01/21 to do the swabs before outpatient services the time is at 8, it was 8.45 before they started the excuse the one who was supposed to do them had a problem with his car. The question is, with this coronavirus emergency, is it …

Maria Miceli

I had an appointment for a visit at 11:15 and they called me at 2:15.... The doctor who examined me was ironic, arrogant and more stressed than I was.... My next appointment is early in the morning..... Let's hope it goes better......

Antonio Mastrangelo

Medicine is a fake degree program. Clinical teaching is based on inexperience and superficiality. Specialization courses are purely on paper, given that clinical practice is minimal and surgical practice is simply (and fortunately) …

SALVATORE ALESCI

Attending a graduation ceremony as a relative of the graduate and sitting on tattered chairs is truly shameful, especially since all your elegant gowns will be sent to the cleaners the next day. Not a good calling card at all.

Matteo Florio

The University of Magna Grecia of Catanzaro is a recent construction located in Germaneto, about 10 km from the center of the regional capital.
Unlike the study centers in Cosenza and Reggio Calabria, it is the only one with …

Domenico Morelli

Dr. Caroleo's Day Hospital works wonderfully and is well organized. The doctor is exceptional, and thanks to him, the Pre- and Post-Liver Transplant Center was created. The doctors and nurses are exceptional. …

Papuss Papee

Terrible student administration office!
My daughter is due to graduate soon. She went to submit her thesis, but it was rejected because the degree program shouldn't have been listed on the cover. My …

Gabriele Fusto

It's not perfect, but it's still an important university center that gives many young people the opportunity to study in their own region, even though many students now come from other parts of Italy.

michele mercuri

It's total chaos where if you ask for information no one knows anything about making a visit I arrived at 2.00 pm I had the visit at 4.00 pm thanks to two kind doctors who gave me the right directions

Giovanni Viteri

Excellence, both Calabrian and beyond. One of the best European universities. Dear young Calabrians, don't leave! If you have the desire and will to study and create, it's possible in Calabria too.

Luana Tribus

I'm a registered student. I confirm what other previous negative reviews have said. The university is only connected by bus or AMC, which you can't rely on because not even one is punctual. …

Graziella Opinion

State-of-the-art facility!
But with a disarmingly inefficient student administration office, all you get is conflicting information from the various desk clerks, and the phone always …

massimiliano schiariti

Modern buildings in a place some have described as "the middle of nowhere," but that's not the case...
Everything was created for a specific purpose: to provide a suitable university …

Alessandra Peta

Highly knowledgeable professors. Very kind and helpful representatives never leave a student with any doubts or problems. Super comfortable university residences with shuttle service.

Cristian Piras

A great community of brilliant scientists. New building with cutting-edge instruments and facilities. Definitely worth to join as collaborators, students or visiting staff!

Mario Viola

An impressive and excellent university. Especially in medical subjects or those approaching medicine, as the hospital prepares interns and recent graduates impeccably. …

Pasqualino Longo

For information every time you have to travel hundreds of kilometers because they hardly ever answer the phone.... when they arrive at university they are unprepared

Antonio Iona

The good professionalism of the staff contrasts with the total abandonment of the structure itself and above all the unfortunate and inappropriate location.

Loredana Pafumi

Student secretariat for degrees in health professions non-existent. Telephone hours not respected, including those of the person in charge. Congratulations

Giusy Dar

A terrible university; it's already ranked second to last in the Censis rankings. Organization is lacking, and classrooms are impossible to find.

Domenico Gagliardo

The university is one of the best in Calabria after Cosenza.
My daughter graduated and found excellent professors with excellent training.

Massimo

Everything is new, efficient, and the staff is friendly, but the signs are inadequate. It's a hive of activity and it's easy to get lost.

leonardo david

Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery Department, 8th floor. One star is too much. Zero is too much. Go elsewhere. Thank you, Masters.

pasquale schiariti

Excellent healthcare facility, the staff is professional and qualified, always prompt and efficient.
I will definitely return.

Falox

"Animals abused and killed, and scientific laboratories in precarious conditions" at the University of Catanzaro: 11 arrests.

Francesco Vallone

With its polyclinic, it is a center of excellence in various fields. A point of reference for the entire Calabria region.

Paolo Barberio

Everything works well. In my opinion, there's a lack of adequate refreshment facilities for visitors and/or companions.

Lorenzo Mazzei

Terrible organization, a 2-year-old can handle it better. I advise everyone against choosing this university.
SHAMEFUL!

Giovanni Lanzo

Despite my many health problems, I consider myself fortunate to be treated in this hospital, which meets all my needs.

Lusia De Masi

Well managed although distancing could be improved. For the rest: doctors, nurses and staff do their job very well!

Antonio Curcio

Terrible place, and lacking organization. The elevators need fixing; they're as crazy as the people inside them...

Isidora Lacorte

As if lifeless, no students, deserted parking lot. Even in compliance with Covid regulations: spooky!!!
