- you share the costs of running the house
Cons:
- finding a room near the university in good conditions is very difficult because the market is saturated and of low quality
you are forced to share a house with at least 3-5 other people with few bathrooms - decent rooms in the right area can cost from 600 euros upwards
- there are no services to help students concentrate on their university career and watch out for scams!

Students or university residences

Cons:

- they rent flats with the comforts of a residence hall
- there is more autonomy in managing student life
- there are residence services to facilitate student life

Cons:

So which housing solution should you choose if you are planning to come and study in Milan?
It depends on the following factors:
The Budget
If you have a very tight budget you will need to start thinking about sharing a flat or a double room.
Generally if your budget is low you can try to ask your university in Milan if they have availability in their student residences in order to try to get in the ranking and apply, matching their requirements; or you can try to use websites of portals that recommend rooms within your budget range.
If, on the other hand, you have a more flexible budget and, above all, you have more comfortable and demanding expectations and habits, then the best solution is undoubtedly the student residence typology, because in that case you turn to specialised structures with high quality comforts, services and facilities.
Student residences offer the option of renting a flat on your own for comfort and privacy, or arranging with a friend or university friend to rent it together and share the costs.
Habit and comfort
When choosing where you want to live in Milan it is natural that you should consider what your normal habits are.
If living in a small room, far from the university, shared with a stranger or with 4 flatmates and only one bathroom can be a struggle for you, then you should turn to the student residence market.
You should know that having an en-suite bathroom for every student is a luxury in Milan so if you come across this type of house, stick to it.
Also consider that studying, preparing for exams is demanding and if you don’t intend to clean your house or throw the rubbish every day, then you should opt for the rent of a flat with the residence formula service that allows you to enjoy comforts such as cleaning service and change of linen and everything else that could make you lose time and energy.
The running costs of an apartment
When you are looking for a house and are presented with the price, you should always be careful to assess the cost (usually extra if you are looking for a private homeowner) that will affect your monthly expenditure.
The running costs of a flat.
What are these costs?
Of course nowadays it has become essential to have a very good internet connection to do distance learning and to prepare for exams, that’s why the web connection is the most important item in your case.
Then you have to consider the electricity and gas bills for heating your house in winter and air conditioning in summer. Imagine having to study a difficult exam in 40 degrees Celsius, it’s not the best.
Finally, you have to pay for your building and waste disposal tax.
When you are presented with a price, always try to understand whether it is the price of everything or whether you will end up with figures that you would not have imagined, with all the inconveniences of the case, such as having to sign contracts with the various energy suppliers, taking everything into your name.
If all these procedures frighten you then you must turn to the student residence because the Chiaralba residence formula solves all this by including everything in the rent, offering you a really easy and comfortable life but above all with the best value for money.
