Public universities in Italy set tuition according to family income and assets. Students with income abroad document it with an equivalent indicator (often called ISEE parificato or ISEEU); without it, you pay the maximum fee, which is still far below US prices. Private universities charge considerably more. Living costs depend heavily on the city, with Milan and Rome the most expensive.
