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.

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

Be careful with the Ects system as it varies according the country and the courses you take. But in this college the erasmus coordinators are very helpful.
