You’ve got all the study abroad in Milan tips you can ask for in those to links, but going back to our main topic, why study abroad in Milan and not Florence, or Rome?
Milan vs Florence
These are two very different cities, I mean even just the cost of living in Florence is completely different from that of Milan (if you really want to know you’ve got to read that article as well, cause I ain’t telling you now). But one thing Milan beats Florence in is the internationality of the city, just think about how Soho House will open its doors in Milan for the first time in Italy.
But in Florence, you have all of the worlds finest art, the hotbed of civilizations new beginnings. You can’t really say which one is better, especially when it comes to fashion cause even though Milan has a great selection of Vintage Shops, but Florence as well has a unique collection of Vintage stores to go and feel fashionable at.
Milan vs Rome
Even though Rome is the capital of Italy, it lacks that sense of internationality that you may find in Milan, but you can’t try to compare the weather cause I mean, Milan has pretty crappy weather that is for sure, and maybe the cost of living in Rome is more affordable. It’s an odd debate to make this one, Rome has some of the oldest histories in the Western world, Milan has some of the best innovations in Europe today.
So, it’s really up to what you’re more into, the past to understand the future, or the present to fix the future? Anyway BS aside why don’t you just visit a couple of these Milanese Libraries I put together for you back in the day so you can learn one thing or the other.
