i personally don't care very much for milan. it's mostly an industrial city and the weather can be pretty crap. the nicest thing about it is the proximity to other nice places in tuscany. i'd make a point of travelling around the region as much as possible while you're there.

MILAN transportation isn't that bad. metro is easy to get around. It's a good city to study, i think.

If you're a bloke, you're sure to like being able to stand around cupping your balls while doing no work and generally hating foreigners. Italy is wonderful ...

First I'm from there. Grew up there and miss it like crazy! Can't wait to go back home. Where are you going to stay? If you are going to be near the center (near the Duomo), I highly suggested to get a two wheel transportation vehicle (like bicycle, scooter or a bike). Trust nowaydays is the best way to go around. But be careful we are pretty crazy drivers, and we go fast.
People are overall pretty friendly.
There are museums, art galleries, great restaurants, awesome night life, and pretty girls! =)Now Milan is busy city, lots of businesses and stores, and there a lot of immigrant from many conutries nearby (eastern europe, and North Africa mostly).
One thing that I keep hearing is that Milan is pretty damn expensive to live in!
I've been gone 8 years now (I live in the States), but I'll go back in heart bit if I could.
Ciao!

i lived in milan for 3 years, mattia made it pretty clear.
some suggestions...
1) get a scooter. it's faster, easier, and you'll be able to move after midnight (public transport dies after midnight). the only con it's definitely the cold winter and usual rain. in the meantime, get a monthly ticket, it's worth the money.2) accomodation is indeed very expensive. at the beging at least, i'd suggest you to get a newspaper called "secondamano" (www.secondamano.it) and look for shared flats. expect to pay something around 400 to live in a good place.
3) nighlife is good, although a bit expensive depending were you head at.
4) try to speak italian. chicks will love your crappy italian accent (it helped me at the beging so much that i faked a crappy accent for some months.. ;P).

that's it, i think. if you need more tips, drop me an e-mail...
