What makes Milan such a unique place to be a student abroad - I think Milan is one of the best places to study abroad. Milan is a very international city with amazing access to so many famous spots and natural landscapes of northern Italy. Milan isn’t what you typically think of Italy. Yes, it has the Italian architecture but it doesn’t have the same Italian edge that Rome, Venice, and Florence have. Milan is a super diverse, international city and its extremely metropolitan. While other Italian cities are flooded with tourists, Milan’s tourists are mainly concentrated by the Duomo while the rest of the city is very residential. Because its international, the food scene here is very diverse as well, which I love. Since there are so many schools in Milan, there are so many international students around the city, making it so easy to meet people and build connections. PLUS Milan is so easily accessible to get you anywhere in Europe. Its so cheap to fly to any European city plus the high speed train systems can take you on day trips all around Italy. Lake Como, Verona, Lugano, Cinque Terre, Florence, Bologna - all accessible within a 1-2 hour train ride. There is so much of this region I have been able to see because of how accessible it is
