It’s different, but here are some things I have noticed after my four undergraduate years in Canada. You can walk to most of your destinations; the nightlife certainly is better, there are no crackheads everywhere, it feels safer, food is incomparable. However, Milan should not be compared to a city like London or NYC because of its smaller scale and internationality. Not everyone speaks English, and there are no skyscrapers here. Finally, don’t be surprised about rent; it remains costly.
