A demanding but rewarding experience at Politecnico Di Milano.
Tips: Before joining Politecnico di Milano, students should know that courses are demanding and require self-discipline. Basic Italian helps a lot in daily life outside the university. The education system is different, with more focus on independent learning. Transition will be challenging but manageable. I got the DSU scholarship, which covers 95% of your expenses throughout your university journey.
Likes (Safety): My overall experience in Milan has been very positive in terms of feeling secure. The city is generally peaceful, and I have not faced any situations where I felt unsafe, even when travelling alone at night. Public transport is well managed and feels safe for use. Politecnico di Milano also takes student safety seriously. One thing I would suggest is that you be a bit more attentive to your belongings when you are at some tourist places, as I have heard about snatching incidents, but I have never witnessed any.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Living in Milan has many positives, like a good work-life balance, rich culture, global-level interactions, and a peaceful lifestyle. The cost of living is quite high, so this can be difficult, especially for students. Another important factor is language barrier. Without adequate Italian, it can be challenging to find part-time work or even jobs after completing your degree, as it limits access to many opportunities, even if you have strong qualifications. My chance of permanent settlement depends on my ability to improve my Italian skills, and if I find any good opportunities, I think I will take them without thinking twice.

Most part-time jobs require fluent Italian, which is difficult for an international students.
Tips: Being very academically focused means that you will need to study for more than 8 hours a day. Most part-time jobs in and outside campus require fluent Italian, which is not possible for an international student. Some students here do try to deliver food as a part-time job, which is a bit hard, but the pay is good. Most students are eligible for full scholarships. I got a DSU full scholarship, which provides for my accommodation, college fees, and food. The catch is that I have to satisfy a yearly credit requirement. If I don’t, I will have to pay for everything they provided up to that point.
