Milan is a very well connected city that is divided into zones. The central area of Milan includes zone Mi1 -Mi3.

A basic fare ticket that can be purchased for €2.20, to be used on all forms of public transport in the city (Metro, bus, tram) includes zones Mi1-Mi3. Tickets are valid for 90 minutes after the first validation, and can be used multiple times on various forms of transport within that time.

We recommend to International students to get the monthly pass, which is a cost effective way to use the public transport system.

Check the official ATM website for more information.

YesMilano is an association founded by the Municipality of Milano and the Chamber of Commerce of Milano, Monza, Brianza, Lodi, created to activate partnerships and collaborations with local businesses, global brands, universities, cultural institutions, and other public entities.

They provide useful information to students regarding many things, particularly for the application of the permit of stay and the fiscal code. Visit their site here.

Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is a non-profit international student organisation. Their mission is to represent international students, thus provide opportunities for cultural understanding and self-development under the principle of Students Helping Students.

ESN will be at the Orientation Event and you can meet them and sign up to ESN if you wish.

At Università Cattolica the sports organisation is called ‘CUS’ (Centro Universitario Sportivo). Most of the sports teams have annual sign-up opportunities for their competitive teams. As an International Student, you may prefer other, more casual sporting activities which can also be found outside of the University. For more information on all sports opportunities, please visit the @cus_cattolica Instagram page or speak to the CUS representatives at the Orientation Event.
