The main reason I decided to go on exchange is to live in a country that I don’t know the language then see how I will survive. I took it to another level by not learning Italian before I arrived in Milan which I totally regret. I have been in here for about one month.…

Milan is a city of beauty, culture, amazing food and of course fashion. The Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore is in the city centre of Milan, allowing myself to gain more exposure to this great city.
