One of the accommodation alternatives for international students moving to Pavia is to rent a complete apartment. The apartment can be a studio, for one or two people, or an apartment with several rooms to share between different young people. This is usually the most chosen option by students since it allows them to share the rental and service costs among all. Sharing the experience with other students will be a great part to remember of your Erasmus stay.
