Politecnico Di Torino has partnered with Goin’, your student community app that connects you with future classmates and current students before you arrive. 

Whether you're feeling excited, nervous, or just full of questions, Goin’ is the place to meet people, get support, and start your university journey on the right foot, together!

Here’s how it works:

1 Receive an invitation by email after you grant admission! Join PoliTO's private community – only students eligible for PoliTO can access it. Making it more secure to share the experience!

2 Chat with others based on your study program, country, or interests.

3 Join group chats about housing, visas, travel, and everything in between.

4 Get help from experienced students, who’ve been through it all before.

Instead of figuring everything out alone, you’ll find real support from people who are going through the same experience, or have just been through it. 

Whether it’s finding a roommate, asking visa questions, or just talking to someone who understands what you're feeling, Goin’ is your starting point for everything.

Saeed from Afghanistan, studying Electronic Engineering

“Connecting with other students on Goin’ before starting university really helped with the transition. It made finding roommates, getting housing tips, and building a support network much easier.”

Sinem from Türkiye, studying Digital Skills for Sustainable Societal Transitions

“I loved the idea of Goin’. Even though I was in a whole other country, I made connections with people from all around the world, and we ended up studying together in Turin. This app helped me get over the anxiety of moving to another part of the world because I found and connected with so many people.”

Sayed Hasan from Bangladesh, studying Data Science and Engineering

“I received essential suggestions about how to process my documents for the visa and university pre-enrolment from others who were also preparing to get admitted to POLITO. Overall, this platform was great.”

Jules from France, studying Mechanical Engineering

“I met some people who were doing the same things as me, or just wanted to go out some nights, which I really appreciated. I used the app to meet people with similar interests, and I found a guy who loved climbing—my favourite sport—and a girl who was available to visit museums and explore the city with me. It was so much more fun doing it with others.”

Andres from Italy, studying Environmental and Land Engineering

“I was able to talk with people who were already studying in Torino or about to start their studies. Goin’ was a very helpful tool for getting to know people before beginning my program.”

Ahlia from India, studying Automotive Engineering

“Since we got to know each other before arriving on campus, we were able to help one another as international students navigating life in Turin.”
