About the Bocconi University

Flights situation from Milan to Hong Kong – no direct flight from Amsterdam – not too expensive
Virus experience to stay at home for 2-3 months – not too bad!

Luckily there is video messaging – and it did not happen 10-20 years ago – no smartphone & internet

Amazon.it works good in Italy to order whatever you need from online
Nice doorman in your apartment or use Amazon Locker

Esselunga – best supermarket to go, all our clients like

Why to come to study in Bocconi Milan instead of other options

No Design Week this year, Im sorry!

Aperitivo – Happy Hour – is a big thing in Milan, specially amongst students
10-15 euro drink (also no alcohol) and you can eat free

Milano is good hub to travel everywhere.

Milano convenient to travel inside Europe with fast train or Flexibus
and to go everywhere in Europe.

People are nice in Milan
Milan has lot of history
Milano is not too big, there is everything here
Old and new together

It is not too expensive in Milan
Similar to prices like all bigger cities

Food is quite good quality and quite good price.

everybody asks & thinks: “Is Milano Safe?”

What Brian talks in the video with Siim in PART 2:

Is Milano is safe?
Milano is some ways the capital of Italy, so it is one of the safest cities in Milan
Milano is one of the most busiest cities in Milan so it is super safe – lot of people in the streets in the night and street lights turned on.
It is safe to walk home from Navigli in the night.

Living permit takes time (permesso di soggiorno) – just need be patient.
First you need Italian Tax code – Codice Fiscale

Generally peoples English level is not so good
Better to learn some Italian, before coming here and have a plan and have everything ready
Learning some Italian goes a long way.

What else Brian likes to do in Milan & some favorite foods.

Easy to find friend here in Milan & very international, lot of nationalities.
You can always find friends from your country.
University organises some meet ups and trips also.

Cinema is in Italian or find O.V. (original video) movies.
It helps to lear some Italian also because subtitles are in Italian.
With Italian TV you can also learn Italian seeing movies you already know & listening songs.
You can see your Netflix also.

Thank you so much, Brian.
Hope it helps to consider to come study & work in Milan.
