Classes are a bit too big, and lectures sometimes have too much theory.
i don't have enough experience in this uinversity
Personally, I was not satisfied with my experience there because a lot of focus in the course was mostly on theoretical subjects whereas it should be more practical. University is a great chance to develop your skills and get ready for a career but unfortunately, it was not like that in Polito and we spent most of our time on the subjects that we may not use in our career...
