Student life in Milan
Studying at the University of Milan and living in Milan is an exciting experience. Milan – which hosted the Expo 2015 – is known throughout the world for science, finance, fashion, design, publishing, theatre, music, food and its international trade fairs.
It is also an extremely lively city, which offers great cultural opportunities as well as the best in sports and leisure. Due to its central position in the northern part of Italy, it is a good point of access for many world-renowned localities. The most famous Italian lakes are just one hour away, while just a little more time is needed to reach the Alps, the Ligurian Sea, Venice and Florence by car or train, and all the major European cities by plane.
Lombardy is also an important point of cultural, artistic and scientific reference for the city of Milan which plays host, amongst other things, almost every year, to more than 300 events that are attended by tens of thousands of people.
Student life on campus
The University of Milan itself is home to approximately 64,000 students – with almost seven percent of students being international students, representing 196 different countries around the world.
It promotes sporting and cultural activities for both students and staff, through its University Sport Centre and through collaborations and special arrangements with the city’s main gymnasiums, cinemas, dance/music agents and theatres.
Students can also take part in music and theatre initiatives organized by the university’s resident cultural institutions, which include the Orchestra, the Choir and the University Theatre Centre. The University of Milan Orchestra offers students the possibility to audition for a classical music ensemble that is both young and prestigious, thanks to its close collaboration with the “Giuseppe Verdi” Conservatory of Milan.
