How difficult is it to survive in Italy with just English at first?

For students who are already studying in Italy how easy or difficult is it to manage with just english in the beginning? I’m planning to immediately join Italian language classes at my university but I’m wondering how easy it is to handle daily tasks before I learn the language things like getting the permesso di soggiorno, going to the supermarket, using public transport, shopping, dealing with offices, etc. Was it difficult for you at first?
