   Italy at last! The first days in a new city are always the most exciting. The multicampus of Bologna has several locations in the Emilia Romagna region: Bologna, Rimini, Ravenna, Forlì and Cesena. Every campus offers a different lifestyle in terms of costs and opportunities, but they are all very affordable and student-centered! The cities of the multicampus are there to be explored either by bike or by public transport. And from Emilia Romagna you can easily discover Italy by train, bus or plane!
