Università Bocconi

Be weary of your institution's international currency withdrawl fees and exchange rates, and withdrawl accordingly.

You can choose both English and Italian courses. It is easier to speak English than Italian among exchange students which is a pitty. I personally spoke a lot Italian but it was thanks to accomodation I had in an Italian family.

The best one would have to be the Pensionato Bocconi, it has an underground link to the unversity so in winter you don't have to even go outside to get to class - FANTASTIC. Problems with these halls is that the toilet and shower facilites are all communal and there are no cooking facilites, however the Mensa is located on the ground floor. I stayed in Capitanio which have cooking facilites, tv rooms with digital tv and games room/study rooms plus internet facilty, these too would be a very good choice of accommodation. Finding private appartments in Milan is very difficult and I would suggest applying for student accommodation if you are planning on studying here.

Travelling by train is quite cheap in Italy. If you buy the "carta verde" you can even save 20 per cent each time.

I really disrecommend the pensionato of the university; it´s old, there´s no kitchen and it´s kind of expensive: actually it´s a shithole
