Extended reading: some points to be paid attention to when applying for studying in Italy
1. Ensure the authenticity of the materials.
The embassy attaches great importance to the integrity of students and has strict requirements on the materials submitted: the high school diploma or degree certificate must be notarized and double-certified; College entrance examination, national examination and art professional examination must be certified by the relevant departments of the Ministry of Education. Therefore, studying in Beijing reminds students who are interested in studying in Italy that all students must provide real and effective documents and materials. Providing false materials is very easy to be investigated and dealt with by relevant departments, which in turn leads to refusal of visas.
2. Choose a university and major when pre-registering.
Because of the language barrier, students and most domestic intermediaries can't get substantive contact with most mainstream universities in Italy, so the application process of Italian universities is different from that of English-speaking countries. The Italian Ministry of Education set the number of foreign students after consulting universities, and then published it on the website of the Ministry of Education. International students pre-register according to the number of universities and majors through embassies and consulates, and submit materials at the specified time. After receiving the application, the university will issue a unified notice to the consulates for eligible students, and then enter the visa process. This process leads to the fact that students themselves have little direct contact with universities. Pre-registration can only apply for one university, and it will cause considerable trouble if you want to transfer to another school or major. Therefore, the choice of universities and majors can be said to be a final operation, which is very important for students. Because a considerable number of domestic intermediaries have poor professional quality or weak operational ability, they often deal with students hastily in the process of choosing schools and majors, which will affect students' college studies and even regret them for life. This requires students to be cautious when choosing an intermediary, and don't waste their youth because of the non-human entrusted.
Language learning is the cornerstone of success in studying abroad.
Compared with Chinese, English and Spanish, Italian is a non-universal language, and students have basically no foundation before studying abroad. Although the language requirements for applying for an Italian study visa are not very strict at present, this does not mean that language schools are not important. Italian universities generally use Italian as the first language of instruction, and only a few universities offer courses in pure English. It is conceivable that foreign students will study with their Italian-speaking classmates in class. Therefore, if you decide to study in Italy, you should start learning Italian at home as soon as possible, so as to lay a solid language foundation for your future study abroad. Many students think that it takes six months of language training to go to Italy, and the domestic courses have just begun, so they ignore the domestic language learning. This idea is all wet. A good beginning is half the battle. Mastering Italian as much as possible in China is tantamount to winning at the starting line, which will definitely get twice the result with half the effort for studying in Italy in the future.

First, get a physical examination.
Detailed physical examination is not only a requirement for getting a visa, but also a very important item for everyone to know their physical condition. You can go to the hospital where the embassy requires a physical examination and do all the desired items at once.

Your luggage should be practical. Don't bring too many books and clothes. They are either bulky or take up space, which is very unsuitable for traveling. And these things can be bought in Italy, so there is no need to bring them.
Also know the amount of luggage on the flight, and be prepared according to the two aspects of consignment and carry-on. It is recommended to choose a lightweight suitcase, which can increase the amount of luggage; It is recommended to choose canvas waterproof fabric for backpacks, which is more elastic.
Fourth, book air tickets.
It is more appropriate to buy a plane ticket about a month in advance, because everyone has already got a visa at this time, and there are more choices when the departure time is determined. I suggest you buy or entrust an intermediary.
A one-way ticket to Italy is usually more than 5000 yuan. Try to choose a big airline, and safety and service will be guaranteed. If the budget is enough, it is recommended to choose direct flight, which can save a lot of trouble.
Five, planning the trip
It's relatively easy to get to the airport from your home. Everyone should know the distance in advance and reserve the time to get on the bus. The journey after getting off the plane is what everyone needs to pay attention to. You can contact the person who picks up the plane, which saves a lot of trouble.
Six, apply for admission
Upon arrival, personal materials, including residence, bank card, insurance, etc., shall be handled by relevant counselors and teachers. Every student will go to his own university in time to learn about the inquiry, and there will be guidance from the school staff.

Esselunga and Coop are the main products, which are characterized by many chain stores and complete products, from daily necessities to electrical appliances and home improvement. After coming here, as long as everyone has enough time, they can buy whatever they want.
Moreover, there are many discounts and benefits in the mall, and credit card consumption is very suitable for students. What we should pay special attention to is that we must learn to read signals. Because shopping malls are generally larger, they are actually more likely to get lost and have longer business hours.

4. Cheap discount supermarket
Mainly well-known supermarket types in Europe, Penn and Lidl, the goods inside are generally half cheaper than ordinary supermarkets. This advantage is very attractive, and there is often a big discount. The goods are not temporary or fake.
Its price advantage is obtained at the cost of good geographical location. These supermarkets are generally opened in remote places, so it will be more troublesome for everyone to purchase, and it will take a long time in the middle.
