Hi there. I am an international student looking to study at Bocconi University. I'm looking at doing the Bachelors in international economics and finance. I presently have no idea about investment banking in Milan and was looking for some information on that?
Also if someone could tell me the cost of living in milan, that would be really helpful.

Yes, it is. I know plenty of people who got into BBs directly.
Cost of living in Milan is average I would say, definitely lower than Paris or London.
Bocconi ranks very well and places well at BBs in Europe. With that being said, the alumni network is extremely weak and you receive minimal help from the university in regards to recruiting. If you want to work in London at a BB, I would try and apply for UCL or LSE.
Alumni network weak? Every single italian in London is from Bocconi
