Italian university graduates are going to shine in this world. They face oral and written exams held in person, where it is very easy and perfectly normal to fail.

I did my masters in the UK and PhD in Germany. The difference in quality graduates (in engineering) is staggering. The first two semesters are more challenging than the 4 years Meng.
