You'll know people before you land.
The loneliest part of studying abroad is the first month. Our students arrive already talking to someone who did the same thing a year earlier, in the same city, on the same course.
Grouped by where you land
A WhatsApp group per city — Milan, Turin, Bologna, Rome, Padua — with students already there. Questions about neighbourhoods, landlords and bus passes get answered by people who solved them last year.
Someone on the ground
Senior students at partner universities who show new arrivals around, explain how enrolment actually works at their institution, and meet you in the first week.
After graduation
Graduates working across Europe who answer questions about internships, converting a study permit to a work permit, and which employers sponsor.
The questions no brochure answers.
Which landlords in Milan will rent to a student without an Italian guarantor, and what do they ask for instead?
How long did your questura actually take for the permesso, and did you get the receipt the same day?
Which bank near campus opened an account for you without a codice fiscale in hand yet?
Did anyone's DSU payment arrive later than the published date, and who did you contact about it?
Come in before you apply.
You don't have to be a client to ask a question. Message us and we'll point you at the right group for the city you're considering.
