Ciao ragazzi! If you are considering Global Exchange even in the slightest I would definitely recommend! In a few words, it is the one of the most rewarding and stimulating experiences! I am currently studying at Bocconi University, a 20 minute metro ride from the centre of Milan. The university itself is not too different…

Ciao from Milano! It has officially been 2 months since I first touched down in Milan and I can honestly say my experience thus far has been an absolute blast. Being my first time coming back to Europe since I was 10 years old, I was quite nervous but also excited for the many adventures…

I am writing this from a train heading home after a wonderful weekend away in the French Riviera; just one of the many perks of living in Milan. Milan is very much an international city, with a business culture and busy nightlife. What really sets it apart from other Italian cities is that it is…

After being on exchange in Milan for over two months, I’ve come to know one thing very clearly: fashion is everything for Italians. This city has a touch of style in all aspects of everyday life, whether you’re merely having a coffee at a local coffee shop or attending the Fashion Week and seeing the…

Milano… the fashion capital of the world that lived up to my every expectation. My three week program ‘Fashion and Design Management’ at the University of Bocconi was something i had been planning and hoping of getting into for two years. The University in it’s self is one of the top 10 business university’s in…

Applying for exchange is only the beginning!! What’s to come is far more difficult, being in a country that doesn’t speak English and being completely on your own can be daunting but it’s all part of the experience!! Well my trip actually began in Colombia, South America, where I had just been in the…
