About the Destination

Il Duomo in Milan, Italy.

Why Milan?

With five major train stations and links to other major cities, you’ll be at the center of everything. For your commute, utilize the Milan Metro, the city tram, or Il Passante, the commuter train. While exploring the city, make sure to tour Milan’s other specialty—food! On your lunch break, enjoy a plate of risotto alla milanese and if it’s around the holidays, follow it with a slice of panettone—mangia!

Housing

Apartment

Share a furnished apartment located in a safe and lively district with three to six IES Abroad students. Located on main public transportation routes, apartments are within a 40-minute commute to the Center, and each apartment offers fully equipped kitchens, Internet access, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. These apartments are single-sex, and you generally share a bedroom with another student. Single rooms in an apartment carry an additional cost. Apartment life is often enhanced by a live-in Italian roommate called a Community Assistant (CA). These Assistants can help you improve your Italian language skills, get to know the city of Milan, and integrate more fully into the local culture. Meals are not included, so you normally eat lunch at a local café or a university cafeteria, and prepare your own breakfast and dinner at home.
