Personal comments
The academic life is quite enjoyable. The only problem is that since the university expanded so much in little time the organisation of courses is a bit chaotic.

Personal comments
There are too many students in this university, so the housing system through the university is complicated. I personally did not find anything through the university system, what is more, I found it quite chaotic. If you are to use it you should have a look in advance and make sure you are staying for a reasonable amount of time (one year better than just a term).

Personal social experience
Personal comments
Favorite night clubs: the Budda, il Ragno d'oro and Casablanca
Places not to be missed: the Brera zone and the Navigli and the shopping area (especially at Via Monte Napoleone and Viale Spiga - even if everything is out of budget, just worth seeing all the glamour and fashionable shops).
