What to know before choosing a room in Milan
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Milan is the most expensive city in Italy to rent in and the one with the most students competing for it, which is a hard combination. The upside is that the universities are clearly located rather than scattered: the Politecnico and the Statale's science faculties are in Città Studi, a district literally named study city, Bocconi has its own quarter south of the centre, and the Statale's humanities sit in a Renaissance hospital near the Duomo. Knowing which of those you belong to answers most of the housing question.

Getting around Milan
Four metro lines, trams and buses run on one ATM ticket with a student rate, and Milan's metro is genuinely quick: Città Studi to the Duomo takes about ten minutes. Trams are slower and more pleasant. The city is flat and cycling has improved a great deal, with BikeMi stands widespread, though the traffic is Italian. Milano Centrale reaches Florence in one hour forty, Rome in under three and Turin in under an hour, and both Malpensa and Linate are on rail links, which makes this the easiest Italian city to leave at a weekend.
