HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I learned how to live and cooperate with very different persons (we were four), and off course to rule a house by my own.
Personal comments:
I cannot write much. They seem to try to help students but I had already found an appartment before coming to Milan, as I alredy knew it would be very difficult.

STUDENT LIFE    
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Night spots: Hollywood and Old Fashion.Via Naviglia and the Brera area are also areas with a good night life, full of pubs and cafes. The "Pinacoteca de Brera" (Art Academy)shouldn't be missed.And off course the wonderful Duomo di Milano and the Vitor Emanuel' galleries. Outside the city, not far away, there are several smaller towns that should be visited like Como, Bergamo or Verona
