Where do students live in Rome? San Lorenzo, next to Sapienza, is the classic student quarter, with Pigneto, Nomentana and the areas along the tram and metro lines popular for a balance of price and access. For Tor Vergata, students tend to stay along the bus and rail routes to the southeast.

How do I find a student room in Rome? Focus on shared flats and check the commute before you commit — Rome is large, and a cheap room far from transport can cost you an hour each way. You can browse rooms in Rome on Acadomus filtered by area.

When should I start looking for accommodation in Rome? Two to three months before term. Rooms near Sapienza and along the main transport lines are the first to go each autumn.
