Which neighborhood to live in when studying in Bologna?

With its human scale and unique student atmosphere, Bologna is the perfect city for 6 months of Erasmus, a year of Master's, or several years of PhD. But where to live? Here are some options depending on your study location:

Engineering: North or South

- If you're studying at the engineering campus on Viale del Risorgimento, the Saragozza neighborhood is ideal. And we have exclusive agreements with WeDolceVita for high-quality coliving!

- If you're studying at the engineering site on Via Umberto Terracini, the area below Via Irnerio is the best option. You'll arrive in 15 minutes by bike and enjoy the historic center.

Law: Zona Università

- Law student, head to the heart of the Zona Università. You'll be able to reach all humanities departments in under 10 minutes on foot.

- Choose your street and apartment carefully to enjoy the atmosphere without problems.

Bologna Business School: Near line 59

- If you're at Bologna Business School, line 59 will be your best ally. Look for an apartment near Piazza Cavour or Porta Castiglione.

- Piazza Santo Stefano is an excellent option. Plus, we collaborate with owners in the area to offer unbeatable value for money accommodations.

But whatever your future Bolognese address, beware of nasty surprises. The weakness of the housing supply versus high demand unfortunately offers a fertile ground for scams. Accommodation solutions proposed on Facebook groups often turn out to be very different once you're there. To avoid discovering the smell of kebab on the ground floor upon arrival, it's strongly recommended not to choose a room without visiting it, or having it visited. That's why, having someone from WeDolceVita accompany you remains the best way to make your arrival in Bologna a happy one.
