An Exchange Student

Exchange
Before I even came to EUC I already knew that I wanted to take advantage of the exchange opportunities given here. To me, exchange is very important for your own personal development, and of course it is also a lot of fun! For anyone considering it, I definitely urge you to just go for it.
University
So far, Bocconi has been great. There was a huge selection of courses to choose from. Currently I am taking Management of Fashion Companies, New Product Development and Open Innovation, E-marketing and E-Commerce, and Global Sustainability Strategy. It’s really great that I can use this semester to choose the courses I am personally most interested in, and at such a great university at that!
Housing
I decided against staying at the dorms provided by the university, and instead found a place on my own through Spotahome. Though rent is pricey in Milan, I found a really nice and modern room in a big student house. It’s really fun because it is a mixture of local Italian students and other exchange students living here.
Extracurricular
Although exchange is technically about studying, the biggest part of the experience happens outside of the lecture halls. There is a very active international student association here in Milan which hosts plenty of parties and other activities. There are more than 900 exchange students at Bocconi alone, so plenty of people to meet and enjoy your time with! Furthermore, there are so many places to visit in, and in the vicinity of, Milan. And, of course, I can’t forget about the Italian cuisine. Pizza makes for a great hangover cure!
Why you should go on exchange
What I love most is the opportunity to integrate into yet another culture, and meeting so many new friends in the process.
