"Going on an SPA is a great experience in itself, but it becomes even more exciting when you get the chance to go to a bigger, completely different institution and learn to enjoy a university as interpreted by another culture. Being an Erasmus student in the Università Cattolica di Milano is not only a unique opportunity to blend into a huge student community but also the chance to live in one of the most fascinating cities of the world."
