      It’s crazy!!!!!! I think this is a good time to say, that when I first came to Milan it was still during Covid times and little before massive inflation and outside the city circle. Nowadays it’s much more expensive and the salaries do not match the cost of living 😢

      I would not suggest this untill you know how well the trains work between Milano and Piacenza. There are many train strikes and trains that are late which could cause issues. I would suggest finding a temp housing situation to see how it is in Piacenza and then make the move.

    • @designerboy420

      Thank you for watching! :) Italy in general is great for socializing! I find the clubs in Milan different than what I was expecting and I find that afternoon life is better in my opinion. Meaning (aperitivo and then dinner). The nightlife is there but not as good as some of the places I’ve been.

    • @designerboy420

    Thanks for the video. I’ll be studying abroad in Milan in the fall from Alabama! My parents will be paying rent for me and I’ll have about 4,000 for 4 months which will be my travel, food, gifts, etc. Basically $4,000 for 4 months on everything besides rent. What do you think about this budget and do you think it’ll work? I want to travel a lot

    • @designerboy420
      @designerboy420  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ciao! With 4k I think you could travel all of Europe once youre here. lol. Because they have trains, which I prefer over planes you can travel some distance. There is less stress with trains, plus they are cheaper. But even if you want to get a plane most tickets are quite cheap compared to the US. You can stay in hostels to save more money. Are you just staying in Milan for 4 months or is that your budget and then you need to find work or something after the 4 month period?

    • @designerboy420
      @designerboy420  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ciao! It just depends on where at you are at. Some places are better connect with other transport options too. There are train stikes all the time and most of the time trains are late. So you have to take that into factor. To be honest getting to class on time isn't such a big deal here....when you have design presentations or critiques then yes! But your normally on a team that can cover for you if you aren't there on time. Also take in consideration as well, are you more trying to get to the center of Milan or trying to get to Politecnico. Because your afterschool life is just as important. So maybe you far away from school but close to other things that you would like. Just things to consider. :)
