HOUSING
by Beatrice, University College London, London, United Kingdom
Design (Fashion, Graphic, Industrial, Web), Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Univerity housing is very strict (curfews, no guests and the likes). I like the independence finding your own accomadation offers. also get a better sense of living inthe city
Personal comments:
I can't say much as i never received accomadation. i believe it to be pretty bad, as we weren't even offered it. there is one hall for erasmus students which is not nice at all, very dirty, shared rooms, small etc... the location is great though, very central.

STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Our Hall of Residence was close to Piazza delle Cinque Giornate, where we used to go and take something for drink to at night on Monday. There were good concerts in The Rolling Stone sale, for free if you arrived before 10 pm. Besides, Milan has such a lot of things to do: music, cinema, theater. It is a custom there to have the apetitivo in the evening, very similar to the Tapas in Spain. A good place to do so is the zone of Navigli. Living in the center as we did, I recommned to have a walk by the Corso di Vittorio Emmanuelle II. Such a nice athmosphere there. Other places to go: Transilvania Sale, LeonCavallo, Conservatorio di Milano (Concerts for free on wednesday, and very close to the Hall of Residence), Magacini Generalle. But over all enjoy of people you meet there, both from Italy and Erasmus students. Under that point of view the experience is very positive. Moreover, if you like Art, Design or Architecture, Milan is full of expositions and Fairs. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: Italian
Was learning Italian a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your Italian?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
From the moment when you arrive to the place up to when you start to understand somehting, the gestures' language get very, very important. It helps you a lot, besides English of course. I used English with my Erasmus mates in the beginning, till we could start to understand each other in italian. On ther other hand, at University and at my internship there I had to learn italian as fast as possible, in order to communicate with people. For my workmates it was difficult to work in english, as they were used to doing so in italian. For day to day life, it was mandatory to learn italian as soon as possible.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
that it gets easier. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.

Personal recommendation:
i think the experience of studying abroard is as much about the studies as the general cultural and life experience. the politecnico is good for offering both these as it is a pretty typical italian educationnal establishment. basically, you're going to get out of this uni as much as you give to it , no gifts. FINAL COMMENTS
dont stay in milan. milan is possibly the best place to actually live in italy, its easy and a little more open adn international than other cities, theres lots to do, entertainment and cultural wise. but you can't miss out on the travel. travel is cheap, trains cost about one third of what they do in england and its a pretty smalll country. you can be in rome in 4 hours. places no to miss are the obvious, venice, florence, bologna, rome but check out the lakes (como, garda, maggiore) , the cinque terre, siena (and tuscany in general). if you get the chance, hit naples and poositano, the amalfi coast(beautiful). the mountains by novara are nice too. turin is close and worth a shot.
