Personal comments
Firs six month I lived in a dormitory. It was clean, new, safe and it had all necessary facilities. I was very satisfy. Next year I lived in a private apartment because I needed to have my own space for studying, that was the only reason why I left dormitory.

Personal comments
I can't say that I have only one favorite night spot. I loved to go to Brera, to Navigli, to Arco della Pace. But one of the place I really liked to go was Bar Basso, with typical old man waiters and old furniture. The best caffè in Milan is easy to take everywhere, but as I said, I liked to visit typical old style places. A place where everybody has to see is Duomo, Castello Sforzesco with Parco Sempione, Brera, Navigli, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, museum of 900. The events that is the most beautiful is Fuori salone mobile in Via Tortona. For me Milan is a beautiful city that gives a person everything that is looking for.
