General

Spadolini is located about a 15 min walk south of Bocconi. It is not a primary international residence, and is meant for full time Bocconi students. That being said, if you want to live in dorms with Italians, this is an option. You won't meet as many International students so you won't have as many travel buddies if you want that experience. The way to enroll is to apply to Arcobaleno really late and let it fill up, and then Bocconi will give you the choice to live in one of its other dorms. The dorm does not open up until near the end of ILP. You will have to live in a hostel or an alternative residence until they allow you to move in.

Kitchen/Food

You will move in before the full-time Italian students move in. So you will have no kitchenware when you move in, but most likely your Italian roommates will have stuff. There is an Esselunga located half a block away. Each suite has a kitchen with stove, microwave, and fridge.

Room

The suite has 4 rooms with 2 bathrooms. Each room has a bed, pillow, sheets, desk, random shelves, cabinets, and a closet (that apparently isn't the size of Arco). The rooms all have their own private controlled heater and AC; however they do not give you blankets.

Security

It's a gated residence and really hard to sneak people into. Guests have to surrender an ID at the front. The security does not speak English, so be aware.

Maids

Maids are much better than Arco, and, like Arco, they do not speak English. Apparently there are not as many nightmare stories as Arco.

Transportation

The 90 apparently is the best way to get around. 90 to the 3 to get to Navigli and 90 to Lodi gets you to the Yellow Line (M3). Also, of course, it's walking distance to Bocconi.

Payments

It costs 701.82 euros a month, about 100 euros more than Arco and Residence Bocconi. You have to pick up your bill at Bocconi at the end of the month which is a hassle.
