Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The university dormitories are strictly Catholic, with rules on curfews, guests (same-sex only), etc.
Although there are many benefits to living there (location, cost, mensa), I would have preferred to live in an apartment with other Italians.

Milan, although a large "international" city, still is very Italian; however, it's not the best example of all that Italy has to offer. Travel, eat, meet people, be happy!
