Erasmus accommodation near the University of Salerno (UNISA)

This university has several campuses and buildings in and around the city. One of the main ones is located north of the centre of Salerno, in the Fisciano area, about 10 minutes away by train or 25 by bus. On this campus, in addition to faculties such as Engineering or Literary Studies, you will find different facilities that you can enjoy as a student of the institution, such as a library, swimming pool and soccer fields. Another campus of the University is the one located in Baronissi, located a short distance south of Fisciano. Here is the Salernitana Medical School, which houses faculties such as Medicine, Surgery and Dentistry.

University residence in Salerno

The University of Salerno offers its students several residences so that they can live close to the campus and its faculties. However, most of the places offered require a minimum rental of 10 months, which is not always possible for an Erasmus. As an alternative, we recommend that you consider rooms in shared flats, a type of accommodation in which you will also be able to live with other students and have more independence than in a residence hall.
