HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The university doesn't offer accommodation and apartments aren't very hard to find in Milan. There are tons of students there in the same situation so therefore there are many opportunites for great apartments. It would also be helpful to live with Italians if sharing as this will help you with the language and any customs/traditions.
Personal comments:
As mentioned earlier, the university doesn't offer accommodation so you'll have to find it yourself, however, this isn't extremely hard to do. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Was learning Italian a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Italian How much did you improve your Italian?
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
At first it was difficult as Italian's hardly speak any English, however I quickly learned basic phrases within a few weeks and was able to cope. By the end of the year I was pretty much fluent. Oh and watching Italian TV definitly works! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Family Personal savings Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Milan is a very expensive city especially now that the Euro has been introduced, but as long as you budget wisely, it'll all be good... Travel, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was the same price as at home. Food, Nightlife: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Try buying food in bulk at large supermarkets rather than the local grocery stores, will save you money. Also a metropass (17 Euros/month) is extremely useful.. try not to live too far away from the city center, rent might be cheaper but you'll spend a lot on transportation.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Besides the MBA courses, I wish the level of the lectures had been a bit higher. I heard a lot of the material covered for the second time. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Organise some more school activities in order to generate a feeling of connection to that school. A large part of the things I did in Milan and the reat of Italy, I organised with my friends from campus or alone. Unfortunately there is not really a connection with Uni. FINAL COMMENTS
Do some travelling, Sicily in specific. If you want, you can find a lot of international students in Milan. If, however, you want to improve your language skills and take dive into the real Italian way of living, I suggest you hook up with Italians. Get over that treshold of speaking Italian, we all make mistakes and it doesn't matter. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
