How can someone find this place?
Idealista
Would you recommend it?

๐ป Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
One club in Castellanza, one club in the nearest city. Both horrible. Nothing to do in the city except one or two bars. To go out and have a bit of fun you have to go to Milan (around 1H to 1h30 journey) and come back at club closing by the first train at 5 (and then walk 30mn from the train station). If u want to take a Uber, it's going to be around 80e to come back from Milan.
๐ Uni life at LIUC
Which classes do you recommendโฆ or not?
Don't have class to recommend, you can't choose them in double degree
Do you have some tips?
The campus is OK. Class are average and it doesn't have major issues. However, you won't necessarily want to stay there after class.
โ๏ธ Travel
Best trips to do?
You can go pretty everywhere in Europe Easily from Castellanza. Your near by Malpensa airport and it's RyanAir flight which allows you to discover Europe. Greece, Morocco, France, Croatia, Malta... All good trips to do with friends, and not that expensive if u settle it at the right moment. It's also great to discover the rest of Italy. The fact that you live in Castellanza add at least one hour and a half when you wanna travel by train.
๐ Castellanza vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Castellanza?
If you live in Castellanza, you need to know that transports are HORRIBLE. Two train per hours to Milan from Castellanza Station. Two bus per hour to go to Castellanza Station, always late but the train is also late so it's ok. If you wanna walk, it's a 30/45mn walk to the station (also if it's too late or too early or weekend you don't have buses) I honestly recommend to live in Milan, shuttles are schedule by LIUC at class hours for you to easily come from Milan.
