Long-Term Apartment Rental in Milan for Erasmus Students

Milan has become one of the most popular Erasmus destinations in Europe. Its universities are strong, the job market is the most dynamic in Italy and the city is easy to explore. The hard part is housing: here's how to get it right.

Erasmus universities in Milan

• Università degli Studi di Milano (Statale): humanities, sciences, law and medicine, with sites in the centre and Città Studi.
• Bocconi: economics, management and finance.
• Politecnico di Milano: engineering, architecture and design.
• Milano-Bicocca: a modern campus in the north, a short walk from Precotto (apartments near Bicocca).
• IULM, NABA, Brera Academy: communication, design and fine arts.

When to book

The Erasmus semesters run September–February and February–July. Start your search as soon as your nomination is confirmed: good flats for a semester go 2–3 months in advance.

How much it costs

A furnished room in a shared flat often costs €600–900 per month; a whole studio or one-bedroom flat well connected by metro typically €1,500–2,500 per month. Always compare the total: many listings exclude bills, Wi-Fi and agency fees.

The contract you need

For a semester the usual contract is a transitional lease with the reason "study" documented by your enrolment or Learning Agreement. It must be registered with the tax office: ask for a copy, you may need it for your residence permit or scholarship. Read our guide to the transitional lease.
