Milan draws students from every corner of the world - and it's easy to see why. Engineering, business, fashion, design, communication, medicine, arts: the city has a top university for almost every field. But the accommodation market moves fast. Before September and February move-ins, good rooms near major campuses disappear quickly.
Choosing the right area isn't just about finding something central. It's about matching where you live to where you actually study. That's exactly what this guide helps you do - and where Pepe Housing comes in, with verified student rooms you can browse and book safely online before you arrive.
Looking for a room in Milan?
Milan is a big city. Two students enrolled at different universities might have completely different commutes, even if their rooms look close together on a map. The same apartment could be ideal for a Bocconi student and inconvenient for someone studying at Bicocca.
Before booking, check your exact campus address - not just the university name. Metro, tram, and train access matters just as much as physical distance. Use Google Maps to be sure distance beetwen your campus and dream room.
Pepe tip: Don't search only for "rooms in central Milan." Start with your campus, then work outward. The best student room gives you a realistic commute, clear rental terms, and a safe booking process.
Prices vary based on area, room size, apartment standard, bills included, and how early you book. Rooms in popular areas like Città Studi, Bovisa, Porta Romana, Navigli, and Bicocca tend to fill up first.
Don't worry if the process sounds complicated - it's actually straightforward when you follow these steps:
Instead of sending money to someone you've never met, Pepe Housing gives you a safer, clearer process - with support available if something goes wrong.
Before confirming any room in Milan, make sure you've checked:
The best area depends on your university campus. Città Studi and Lambrate work well for Politecnico Leonardo, Bovisa for Politecnico Bovisa, Porta Romana and Navigli for Bocconi, and Bicocca or Greco for University of Milano-Bicocca students.
Students at the Leonardo campus should consider Città Studi, Lambrate, and Porta Venezia. Students at the Bovisa campus should look at Bovisa, Dergano, Affori, and areas with strong metro or tram connections.
Bocconi students often choose Porta Romana, Navigli, Ticinese, Crocetta, and Porta Genova - all offering good campus access, cafés, and social life.
Romolo, Navigli, Famagosta, and Porta Genova are practical choices. IULM's campus is located at Via Carlo Bo 1, making Romolo one of the most convenient neighborhoods for daily commuting.
Both schools are located around Via Carlo Darwin 20 in the Navigli area. Navigli, Romolo, Porta Genova, Famagosta, and Barona are all worth considering. Student Accommodation in Milan near Universities
