Hi!
I was born in Milan and live in too so I can help you with your questions.
Forgive my English please!
The costs of renting are depends on where you decide to live.
There are many suburbs in Milan, near the centre prices are very high (about 1000 euro per month). I suggest you to consider to live in the provinces (as Rho that is about 20 minutes by train to Milan).
Costs of taxi are high so I suggest you to buy a season ticket or a pass for bus and train (it's about 30-50 euro per month).
Cost of utilities are about 50-100 euro per month.
Petrol: 1.50 euro per liter
I think that holiday are the same of England less or than.
If you want more information, feel free to write me.

I found my room through easystanza.it, although there are probably lots of other good sites. Rent is expensive, mine is around 600 euros but includes all bills etc. Transport is cheap here. Alcohol is expensive. I get the same amount of holidays as I did in Scotland.
