Almost every Milan university has several facilities around the city and some of them also have secondary centres in other areas of Lombardy and Italy, so if you need something specific you'd better ask before getting there. Every university has its own students' residences, which are much smaller than they should be, so they can satisfy only a small portion of demand for them. If you're not able to get a room in a residence, every university has an ISU, a Studying Right Institute, that can help you find a room or an apartment for rent. Renting a room or an apartment can be very expensive, starting at â¬400-500 /month for a room. MeglioMilano (http://www.meglio.milano.it/) is an association that is now experimenting a project to help non-Milanese students find a home and retired old people find somebody to help them in everyday life. The project is called Prendi in casa uno studente Bring a student home, you can ask for information by email mailto:[email protected] or by phone on +39 02 76020589.
