Experience in Milan, Italy, by Benedetta
What is it like to live in Milan? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?
It you enjoy the Italian lifestyle Milan is the perfect fit for you. The atmosphere is really dynamic and being a big city there is always something to do. During the year period the city invest in different artistic events such as Milan Design Week, Milan Music Week and of course Milan Fashion Week. When these events take place you can really feel and see around the city the excitement and there are a lot of funny events/parties to attend sponsored by the fashion houses, record labels and so on
I would recommend to live in Milan because you can experiment the big city life while learning about your interest. The universities here are top of the range and the possibilities for young workers are different too.
You will be welcome by warm harted Italian but that also will be really determinated and focus on their goals
What is the student lifestyle like in Milan?
The student life in the city is fantastic.
Univeristies are really really good and you can meet people from all over the world and all over Italy getting so to know all the shades of the Italian culture in your group of friends.
The city offers a lot of opportunities to party with numerous clubs and bars. The centre of the city never sleep but change its face. During the day is a dynamic setting with offices and workers, during the night you can taste different specialities from delicious restaurant and drink amazing cocktail and go partying on Navigli.
How much does it cost to live in Milan?
Milan is a pretty expensive city.
This is the first downturn of living here. Flat cost is really high and the market to find one is really competitive and not so easy going.
What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?
The food is amazing!
Apart from the dreamy Italian tradition cuisine ( that is personally my favourite one) in Milan you can find every kind of ethnic food from Japanese to Brasilian and Mexican and even Peruvian.
What places would you recommend visiting in Milan?
Brera is the historic part of the city. It seems to be in a little city inside the city.
What advice would you give future students heading to Milan?
Have fun!
