A few words on safety
You will likely be and feel very safe in and immediately around
campus and the downtown area. There are just a few places we
would recommend that you be careful and most particularly
attentive to your belongings.
 Train stations (Central Station, Cadorna, Lambrate, etc.) and
underground stations and TRAINS are target areas for thieves and
pickpockets.
 Make sure your backpack is properly closed; your money and ID
documents are inaccessible or invisible to anybody. You may want
to keep your passport, credit cards, etc., separate from your cash.
 If you take your passport and other sensitive documents, we
suggest you keep them in a money belt on you and not in your
purse, backpack, etc.
 Remember that it is not a good idea to be out alone at night and
take precautions
