Università Bocconi

It is sometimes difficult to find an appropriate appartement in Milan.

The Naviglio area is great in summer. Exchange students have regular, cheap places to go (such as Palo Alto0, but you get bored after a couple of months. It's worthwhile to go to other places as well. I really liked a small Cuban bar (good drinks, great atmosphere), I have forgotten the name but I thin it was on the street between Bocconi and Naviglio, from Bestrice d'Este to Piaggio Marzo XIV or something.

Can't beat a pizza from Da Willy's. For a facny night out in the disco's there's La Banque, near to Duomo. For a mad night out there's Palo Alto on a Tuesday night where SEN have the exchange nights out. The infamous SEN tram party is a must if there's one organised whilst you're there. On a clear day you must go to the top of Duomo. And of course a few drinks or a meal in the Brera on a Saturday night.

Kookabar - great pool bar and fantastic for meeting fellow 'internationals' Magazzini Generali - loved the hip-hop nights Café Atlantique - trendy, but expensive Casablanca Café - ditto Hollywood Rythmoteque - found this a bit overrated Old Fashion Café - fantastic Room 97 - big, cool, really good for dancing Rolling Stone - live music galore Shocking Club - great stuff Tocqueville 13 - nice!

They help a lot with accomodation but it needs a lot of personal effort too!

When dealing with administration it is best to be with someone who speaks Italian fluently as otherwise it will be very time consuming to get anything done.
