• Time spent at the partner university: 4 months

1. Preparation

Interrail Erasmus Pass for 200 EUR grants 4 travel days - you can use it for the green travel as well. Make sure to join group chats before you arrive to find out about apartments and events. ESN Milano and DACH Bocconi were most useful to me.

2. Accommodation

Used Habyt, easy to find a place but overpriced and they dont really take care of damages. I would recommend Porta Romana as neighbourhood as it is close to uni and very safe.

3. Academic life at host university

Workload is slightly higher and curved grading causes competitiveness within cohort. A bit more academic than WU

5. Every day life in the host country

20 EUR monthly pass Sport is very expensive! Gyms are 70+ minimum on the lower end

6. Testimonial

CEMS cohort is always nice - lots of exchange students make it easy to have a good social life. Learning the language definitely helps in day to day interactions. Trips in Northern Italy were my favourite part.
