New Yorker moving to Milano in January 2011

Hi Kia-

I'm a New Yorker moving to Milano in January 2011 as well! I'm going for a graduate program in design. I've only been to Milano's train station on a layover so can't help you with city advice, but if you want to practice Italian, let me know!

Hi Girls!

I am a Canadian and I just moved to Milan a few months ago (and will be here until at least March 2011).  I don't speak Italian, but am studying a little.  Def keep in touch and I can show you a few good spots to eat and party when you get here!!  Do you have a place to live?  I can ask my boyfriend about affordable places to live as he is from here.

I don't have much advice for you aside from the usual advice you get when you move to a new country (get rid of all expectations, keep an open mind, bring a few things that remind you of home...that sort of thing).  If you have any questions though, I will def try to answer them!!

Chat soon!
