Housing

You have the choice of staying in a dorm or finding your own apartment in Milan. If you choose to live in a dorm, you can get a list of dorm options and apply for one directly with the university. If you are interested in an apartment, the international student desk at the university is available to answer questions and direct you to online resources for suitable rentals. 

Apartment

Milan may be a small city, but each district has a distinct character that shines through. For example, one of the recommended neighborhoods, Navigli, is filled with buildings painted in rusty hues of yellow and pink. Its waterways date back to 1179 and are now bordered by bars and restaurants where the most stylish city residents stop for an aperitivo after work. You’ll receive a list of neighborhoods that are close to campus and have suitable apartments to rent.
