Bocconi welcomes new cohort of exchange students

The mix of international students at Bocconi renews and regenerates itself with the arrival on campus in these days of 695 exchange students for this semester from the University's international network that includes 280 universities on five continents.

After an absence of 18 months, due to the pandemic, in September exchange students returned on campus with 674 students happy to resume their international mobility and spend the first semester at Bocconi. This second semester sees the arrival of 695 students, both at BSc and MSc level, and for the School of Law. For them, a week of Welcome Activities, with online orientation sessions and relocation workshops, Campus Tours, guided tours of Milan and a visit to the Gallerie d'Italia in collaboration with FAI.

"I'm here because I chose a prestigious school and a fantastic city and I must say that the first impact with Bocconi and Milan is very positive. And it is nice that we are already socializing among us exchange students, meeting people from all over the world," says Chestapan Juipiam, from Thailand, coming from Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. "Now I'm expecting to experience teaching in economics of a very high-level."

"I wanted an experience in a business school and also I like the Italian mentality. This is the perfect choice of a renowned university in a perfect location," explains Ines Leygue, French, a social sciences student at Sciences Po in Paris, as she prepares to start a Campus Tour of Bocconi. "I've already seen a bit of the campus and it looks beautiful, also because of all the artwork on display. Now I can't wait to start classes!"
