Hey! I’m planning to apply to PoliTO for the 2027/28 intake for the Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering, and I wanted to ask a few questions before I start preparing everything.

I’m from Madagascar and I’ll be graduating with a Malagasy high school diploma after 12 years of schooling. Does PoliTO accept this qualification for admission? If anyone from Madagascar has applied before, I’d really like to know how it went and whether you needed any additional documents.

I’m also a little worried about the admission test. From what I understand, the TIL-I has to be taken in person in Italy. Since I’m coming from Madagascar, travelling to Italy just to take an admission test would be really difficult financially. Are there any alternatives for international students who can’t afford to travel to Italy for the TIL-I?

I’ve also seen that the SAT can be used instead, but that would also be an additional cost for me. Are there any ways to avoid these costs, like fee waivers or other options for international applicants?

And if anyone has already gone through the process as an international student, I’d also appreciate any advice about the overall costs of applying and moving to Turin.

Thanks!

Okay, I genuinely need some outside opinions because I can’t tell if I’m overthinking this or not.

So basically, this started as a stupid joke between me and this girl I’m really close with.

We started joking about being a couple, and somehow she took it SO far 😭. We went from calling each other “my love” and “darling” to literally pretending we’d been together for five years. We had fake arguments, fake jealousy, she’d say stuff like “where are you, dinner is ready”, and we’d basically act like an old married couple 💀.

It was obviously a joke, but somehow it became such a normal part of our friendship that I still call her “darling” sometimes.

The thing is, we’re also pretty physically affectionate with each other in real life. I’m normally not that tactile with people, but with her I’m much more comfortable with it. We’re just naturally very close and affectionate.

She also has I Kissed a Girl as one of her favourite songs and really likes Billie Eilish. I KNOW that doesn’t automatically mean anything 😭, I’m not using that as evidence or anything. It’s just one of the things that made my brain go “hmm???”

I’ve also tried asking her indirectly what she thinks about girls sometimes, but she always gives me really vague answers, so I have absolutely no idea.

She doesn’t know I’m bi. She’s actually one of the only people in my friend group who I know is accepting, so sometimes I wonder if I should tell her.

But then another part of me is like:

**“**Girl, you’re literally inventing a romance out of a friendship.” 💀

So yeah. I genuinely can’t tell anymore.

Would you interpret this as just a very affectionate friendship + an elaborate inside joke, or would you also wonder if there might be something more going on?
Please tell me if I’m being delusional 😭

I swear, I’m trying so hard to be patient with this computer, but it is testing me on a spiritual level.

I’m coding, everything is going fine, and then suddenly ONE tiny thing doesn’t work. I spend 40 minutes staring at the screen trying to figure out what I did wrong.

Then I fix it.

And immediately something ELSE breaks.
At this point I’m not even debugging anymore. I’m negotiating with the machine.

“Please. I’m begging you. Just run the code.”

And the worst part is that I KNOW it’s probably some stupid little mistake like one missing bracket, one wrong class name, or one space in the wrong place.

I love programming, but my computer is currently making me question every life decision that led me here 💀

Anyway, if anyone needs me, I’ll be staring at my code until the problem magically becomes obvious.

Hello everyone,

I am a high school student from Madagascar and I am planning to apply for a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering in Italy.

I would like to know if the Malagasy Baccalauréat (Baccalauréat de l’Enseignement Général) is accepted for direct admission to Italian universities.

Has anyone from Madagascar, or anyone familiar with the admission process, successfully enrolled in an Italian university with this diploma?

If it is accepted, were there any additional requirements (such as CIMEA, Declaration of Value, or other documents)?

Thank you in advance for your help!
