Here is some pre-arrival information on resources and materials you can refer to before arriving at school. Please note that Istituto Marangoni offers several services for students, such as on-site computers, scanners, photocopiers, school email accounts, and access to online resources via the Extranet dedicated to students for research purposes.

SOFTWARE: You can access the full Adobe Creative Cloud package, Microsoft Office 365 Education Web Access platform, and Virtual Lab, where you can run cloud-based applications without installing them on your computer, such as Clo3D and other apps suggested by the faculty.

HARDWARE: You can use the school's internet connection. In the school buildings, you will find multifunction color laser printers, which can also be used to scan and send documents to email addresses or USB sticks. The hardware is recommended but not mandatory. Additionally, we suggest considering bringing the following items (not required): a USB-C to USB adapter, an adapter for drawing tablets (Wacom), external webcams, external hard drives, etc.; an ergonomic Bluetooth mouse (e.g., Logitech MX Master) to prevent wrist pain and improve functionality in applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign...); a graphics tablet (only for fashion design courses) for freehand drawing with Adobe applications instead of using a trackpad. The computers in the labs and classrooms can be freely used in case of malfunction or temporary unavailability of your personal laptop.

We recommend bringing a laptop with the specifications listed below to run the software in use:

• Winter break - Christmas holidays
• Spring Break - the week of Easter
• Summer break - two weeks around the date of August 15

Within the academic year there are also additional days of holiday, during national holidays:

• November 1
• December 7th-8th
• April 25th
• May 1st
• June 2nd

Working while studying can be challenging because you will have a very busy schedule; we usually recommend seeking a job after completing your studies. As a student at Istituto Marangoni, however, you may have the opportunity to work on projects developed by the School's teams.
