Politecnico di Milano

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.

Old fashoin is THE erasmus student get together, every wednesday...its worth it to kickstart your social life but you'll soon find that aperitivos at elephant, iguana, trattoria toscana, europe cafe ...take over. good underground music scene at Tunnel. wednesday nightsa t magazzini generali are good, free and good music. gay nightlife is not so good... segreta is ok.

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.

its a lot of fun. i would suggest geting to grips with the local language before moving to the country as it helps to feel confident... and then, total immersion makes it very easy to pick it all up.

not really. cheaper to order at the bar in most bars even if you then go and sit down.
