Good to know

Where do students live in Milan? It depends on your university: Città Studi for Politecnico and Statale, Bovisa for the Politecnico design and engineering campuses, and areas like Lambrate, Navigli and Bicocca for a mix of price and nightlife. The metro is excellent, so living a few stops out is normal and often cheaper.

Is student accommodation in Milan expensive? Milan is the most expensive student city in Italy, so most students share a flat and prioritise metro access over being central. Booking early is essential — browse verified rooms in Milan to compare zones.

When should I start looking for a room in Milan? Start three months ahead. Demand is highest in September, and the best-value rooms near the campuses go first.
