Welcome Days for Exchange Students

HELP DESK AND ORIENTATION ACTIVITIES ARE WELCOMING EXCHANGE STUDENTS STRAIGHT INTO THE BOCCONI EXPERIENCE. TOURS, LANGUAGE CLASSES, AND PARACTICAL ASSISTANCE WITH HOUSING AND BUREAUCRACY ARE ALL READY TO START GETTING THE NEWCOMERS SETTLED IN MORE EASILY

Once again this year Bocconi is welcoming exchange students coming from partner schools. More than 800 international students hailing from Europe, North America, East Asia, Asia-Pacific, Africa, the Middle East will live and study at Bocconi as part of their exchange program experience. In order to facilitate the newcomers’ involvement in academic and extracurricular activities at Bocconi, a number of  events will run until 13 September : guided campus tours, Italian classes, information about residence permits, orientation meetings. Also, two special guided tours (fee required) of the city of Milan have been arranged:  the “classic” formula enables exchange students to acquaint themselves with Milano’s most important neighborhoods from a historical and cultural point of view, and the “fashion” tour which will take students to visit the Milanese fashion district.

If you are part of an Exchange and would like additional information on courses and classes, if you need help finding an apartment or a room, if you have trouble activating your cell phone account, finding a bank to open an account, or if you want to do an additional tour of Campus or the city, there are two Bocconi students to answer your queries in the entrance hall of via Sarfatti 25. They are available every day from 9am to 5pm, until Monday, 8 September.
