Ciao! It is hard to believe that I have already been in Milan for over a week! It has been amazing to explore the beautiful city of Milan alongside my newfound friends. The architecture, cuisine, people, and bustling atmosphere have melded together to give me a great initial impression of my life for the next few months. My days have consisted of exploring the world-renowned Duomo Cathedral, window-shopping in the luxurious retail gallery, trying new foods, catching metro rides, and making lifelong memories. While my classes have not yet begun, the presence of a bustling business sphere has not befallen my notice. Major worldwide companies are stationed here in Milan, such as PWC, Deloitte, KPMG, etc. I am very excited to begin my classes at Bocconi University and learn more about the Italian business world and how it compares to that of the United States.
