Welcome Event - Friday

Host: Je Suis Jambon Time: 18 - 22:30 Address: Piazza della Trivulziana (but don't use this address as it's closeby but not exactly where this pub is). The welcome event will happen next to Piazza della Scienza, you can pop by as early as at 18. From there, just cross below the arch made by the U3 and U4 buildings, cross the street and walk about 20 meters. You will see us on your right, at a gastropub called "Je Suis Jambon". In doubt, just ask, most students will know where it is and point you to the right direction. Read More
