Student housing
Turning up in Italy with no confirmed place to live is the single biggest source of stress in the arrival week — so this is one of the few steps we try to close out before your flight, not after it.
How to actually find a room
We walk you through the real process, not a generic checklist: which listing sites and Facebook groups are worth your time in your city, what a reasonable rate and deposit look like, how far in advance to start looking, and what to check in a contract before you sign anything.
If we find a room, we’ll help you get it
When a room for rent crosses our path — through a landlord, agency, or local contact — we pass it on and help you move on it quickly: what to ask, what to check, and how to secure it before someone else does.
Found a place yourself? We’ll review it
If you find a room on your own through a listing site, a Facebook group, or a friend, send it to your advisor before you commit to anything and we’ll sanity-check it: is the rate reasonable for the area, does the contract look standard, is the location actually liveable relative to your campus and public transport.
When it’s time to move in
Once a room is confirmed, your arrival and settling-in step picks up from there — registering your address is what unlocks almost everything else you’ll need in your first weeks, from your codice fiscale to your residence permit.
