Anyone studying Aerospace Engineering in Italy? Need some guidance for public university

My brother is planning to go Italy for Aerospace Engineering in public university after 12th from India got 72% .
We are not going through any consultant, doing whole process by ourself only, so wanted to connect with students already studying there.

Would really appreciate if Indian students or international students currently studying in Italy can connect and share their experience. Especially looking for students from universities like:

Politecnico di Milano
Politecnico di Torino
Sapienza University of Rome
University of Bologna

Need guidance regarding:
admissions
scholarships/DSU
visa process
accommodation
part time jobs
university selection

If any Indian student studying in Italy especially aerospace/mechanical engineering please comment or DM.
Would really help us alot.

Planning from long time not because of current situation.

After months of research, YouTube videos, Reddit posts and news, I’m mainly confused between Switzerland, Germany and New Zealand.

My priorities are:

  • Good and peaceful lifestyle
  • Stable job market
  • Easy family integration
  • Good education system for kids
  • Long-term residency/citizenship possibilities
  • Less stress and better work-life balance
  • Safety and future security for family

My biggest concern is language barriers, taxes, and whether immigrants actually feel settled after a few years. UAE is comfortable financially, but long-term stability and citizenship are always a question.

Switzerland looks amazing for quality of life, but many people say integration is difficult and the cost is extremely high.

Germany seems more practical for PR/citizenship and family benefits, but I hear mixed opinions about bureaucracy and language challenges.

New Zealand honestly feels peaceful and family-oriented from what I’ve seen online, especially for raising children and quality of life. Some people even said their kids adapted very well there compared to UAE life.

I’m not looking only for money anymore. I want a country where my kids can grow peacefully, get good education, and where we can truly feel “settled” in the future.

How was the reality compared to what you expected online?

Instead of buying a small expensive house, I chose a different path for my family in India.

(Picture copied from Google)

I decided to buy land first – not just any plot, but a big one.

👉 Plot size: 5,200 sq ft
👉 Built-up area: only 1,200 sq ft (G+1)

That means my house will take just around 1/4th of the land, and the rest stays open.

This simple decision became the smartest part of my future plan.

Most people buy a small plot in a crowded area and build a big house on it.

I did the opposite.

I bought a large plot in an upcoming area, at a much lower price, knowing it will develop in the next 3–5 years.

Instead of spending everything on construction, I focused on space and lifestyle.

My plan is simple and elegant:

A compact 1200 sqft home designed exactly for family needs

Huge open garden

Trees around the house

A small fish pond

Privacy from all sides

Plenty of space for pets and kids

More like a farmhouse feeling – at a normal family budget.

Financially it made complete sense:

Bigger plot in developing area = lower land cost

Construction kept simple and affordable

Easy loan availability

Over time, the land value will grow significantly

Instead of living in a congested home, I invested in peace and space.

The best part?

My family absolutely loves this idea.

They already imagine:

Evenings in the garden,
kids playing freely,
pets running around,
and a home full of calm and fresh air.

That happiness is worth more than any luxury apartment.

One important lesson I learned:

Good architecture and smart planning matter more than big buildings.

Build only what you need.
Keep the rest for life to enjoy.

This is not just a house plan for me.
It’s a long-term family dream.

And honestly – one of the best decisions I’ve made.

FYI – The image is taken from Google for reference.
This is based on my own real experience, not a made-up story.
Both cities and underdeveloped areas come with their own challenges—it all depends on how you handle them.

If anyone is planning to build a home in South India, think beyond small plots and crowded layouts. Sometimes the simplest strategy gives the biggest happiness.

I don’t usually post here, but I came across something interesting in the Dubai market that might be useful for investors in this community.

There’s a near-handover residential tower (expected around Q3 2026) with an unusual payment plan structure that I haven’t seen often for almost-ready buildings.

Approx. Pricing (market comparison):

• Studios around AED 620K

• 1BR around AED 1.05M

Notable Payment Plans Available in the Market:

• 20% during construction (2025)

• 80% on handover (2026 Q3) – either cash or mortgage

• In some cases, even 40/60 options depending on the developer

The location is directly in front of a public park, in an already established community with good rental demand — which is why the payment structure caught my attention.

Purely for discussion:

For those who invest in Dubai real estate, does a 20/80 structure on a building that will be ready in about 10 months influence your interest, or do you prefer different cash-flow strategies?
