The Best Neighbourhoods in Milan for University Students

Choosing the right neighbourhood matters just as much as choosing the right home. Here are the areas students love most in Milan.

Città Studi

The university district par excellence: this is where you'll find the Politecnico (Leonardo campus) and several faculties of Statale. Plenty of student services, mid-range prices and excellent connections on the M2.

Navigli

Famous for its canals and nightlife, it's perfect if you study at IULM or NABA. Prices are a little higher, but the atmosphere is one of a kind.

Bicocca

A modern neighbourhood that grew up around the university, with recently built residences and services. It often offers the most affordable prices, and is served by the M5 and trams.

Porta Romana

Elegant and well connected via the M3, it's the natural choice for Bocconi students.

Lambrate and Bovisa

Areas undergoing transformation, with prices that are still attractive and great connections to the Politecnico campuses.
