Affordable housing for students

Università IULM provides affordable housing for students. IULM offers a variety of housing options to support students, particularly those from outside the city, ensuring access to suitable, affordable accommodations. These include:

  • University Residences: IULM offers its students housing in university-managed residences such as Santander and Cascina Moncucco. These residences offer a range of services, including laundry, common kitchens, internet, and 24-hour reception, at affordable rates. The rental rates range from 300 to 430 euros per month, which is much lower than the average cost of accommodation in Milan (around 700 euros), strengthening the claim of affordability and providing concrete support.
  • Housing Partners: IULM has collaborations with Collegiate, Dotstay, Zappyrent, Erasmusu, and Welcome Home, providing discounts and verified accommodations, allowing students to find safe, affordable housing in Milan.

IULM is committed to ensuring more affordable housing for students in the future, in fact IULM’s Rector, Gianni Canova, also joined a strategic meeting with Milan's Mayor, Giuseppe Sala, and the rectors of eight Milanese universities to address student housing challenges. The collaboration set a goal of increasing student accommodation in Milan by 10,000 units over the next few years, a coordinated effort to keep student housing costs manageable and improve additional services like transportation for students across the city.

IULM's extensive network and discounted housing programs help ensure that students have access to affordable housing during their academic journey in Milan.
