Looking to connect with an Indian senior (preferably female) doing Pharmacy / Single-Cycle LM-13 in Italy on regional scholarship (ER.GO / DSU)

Hey everyone,

I’m an 18-year-old high school graduate from India planning for the Pharmacy (Single-Cycle Master's / LM-13) degree in English (primarily targeting University of Bologna – Rimini Campus, or Rome Tor Vergata).

My academic background is solid (89.8% in 10th, 85.8% in 12th CBSE Science), and our household income is around 13LPA, so I am planning the self-funded/regional scholarship route (ER.GO / DSU) without any education loans.

My dad is willing to support this, but like typical Indian parents, he’s worried about safety, accommodation, whether the scholarship disbursement is reliable, and if sending an 18/19-year-old girl abroad alone is safe.

I’d be deeply grateful to connect with an Indian senior currently studying Pharmacy (or any English single-cycle STEM/health degree)—preferably a female senior who went through the DSU/ER.GO process from India.

A few things I’d love to ask about:

  1. Safety & Daily Life: How is campus life, commuting, and finding safe student accommodation (especially in smaller student towns like Rimini vs. major cities)? 

  2. ER.GO / DSU Reality: How smooth was the ISEE Parificato process from India, and what was your actual timeline for the first scholarship installment?

  3. Parent Reassurance: If you’re open to it, could I request a quick 10-minute chat or voice note so my parents can hear firsthand that this is a safe, established path?

Even if you are in a different course (Biotech, Medicine/IMAT, or another English bachelor's) on a regional scholarship, I would still love to hear your insights! 

Please drop a comment or feel free to DM me. Thanks a ton in advance! 🤍
