Everything is true, i don't know about lazyness but i think is correct :-)
btw here the answers:
Cost of eating:
uhmm... i say for a month 100 - 150 euros, with good quality food (when i was student at lunch i used to go at refectory which cost from 3 to 6-7 euros) and in the evening i usually cook @ home.
If you are not alone in home probably is more cheap.Nightilife:
what you want: discos, pubs, discopubs, bar, live music. And there are some places where people meets togheter.
In Milano there are some "social centers" (I can't find a better translation sorry): former factory plants occupied by hippy/punk people. Otherwise the description, they are very interesting places: live music, conferences, debates, or just drinking, there you can find many students.Art/exibitions/events:
Milano hasn't so grat Museums, compared to Rome/Florence/Venice, but there are some interesting works of Leonardo, Caravaggio, Raffaello and Piero della francesca. And you are distant 2 1/2 hours of train from venice, 2 hours from Bologna
2 1/2 from Florence and 4 1/2 From Rome.About exibition Milano si very active, a lot of them all over the year in various places. Remarkables the ones at the Triennale: Design/architecture/Graphic Design related.
Some huge libraries, and one (the Hoeply library) with an entire floor dedicated to art/architecture/graphic design/photoraphy.
Two major events during the year: SMAU, a sort of E3 in autumn and moreover:
"Il salone del Mobile" (in the period of Easter) this exibit is remarkable, not only for the fact that in Milan trade fair there is the exibition of all producers of light and furniture of Italy, but above all because every company involved in furniture organizes in different places around the city their own exibition with free drinks and food (the so called "fuorisalone"). This events lasts for an entire week and usually me and my friend during that week are always drunk.About people:
In milano there are no more original inabithants (i'd say 40% - 50% of the population)
the city is full of people from other parts of italy (like me) or from other countries: a very multicultural city.... and if you came here i will teach you how to play Mandolino, a very important skill here.
(hope i'd be exaustive)
