🧑🎓🏫Where to Live When Studying in Bologna: The Best Neighborhoods by Faculty
With its human scale and unmatched student atmosphere, Bologna is the perfect city for a 6-month Erasmus exchange, a year-long Master's, or a multi-year PhD. But where exactly should you set up camp? To save you time, here are the best residential options tailored to your specific campus location:
⚙️ Engineering Campuses: North or South?
Viale del Risorgimento Campus: If your classes are based here, the elegant and historic Saragozza neighborhood is your ideal match. Bonus: WeDolceVita has exclusive agreements in this premium area to offer high-quality, fully managed coliving spaces.
Via Umberto Terracini Site: If your department is located north of the city, look for accommodation in the historic center, just below Via Irnerio. This allows you to enjoy the vibrant city center while being only a scenic 15-minute bike ride away from your campus.
⚖️ Law & Humanities: The University Zone (Zona Università)
The Hub: For law, arts, or humanities students, living in the heart of the Zona Università is the ultimate convenience. You will be able to walk to any department or library in under 10 minutes.
Our Expert Advice: Because this area is the epicenter of student nightlife, it is crucial to choose your specific street and apartment carefully to enjoy the lively atmosphere without sacrificing your sleep.
💼 Bologna Business School (BBS): Along the Bus 59 Line
The Strategy: The BBS campus is nestled in the scenic hills outside the center, making Bus Line 59 your daily lifeline. To ensure a smooth commute, look for an apartment near Piazza Cavour or Porta Castiglione.
The Premium Choice: Piazza Santo Stefano is an outstanding option for BBS students. At WeDolceVita, we collaborate closely with local landlords in this beautiful district to offer verified, top-tier accommodations with unbeatable value for money.
