Student Housing in Turin

Before you head off on your Erasmus adventure, you need a place to stay, so let’s tackle that first!

Student apartments for rent in Turin

Finding a student rental apartment in Turin isn’t difficult, but it’s a good idea to start your search early because the best accommodations get booked out quickly.

You can rent an entire apartment for yourself or share with friends if you are accompanied. While renting a whole apartment can be more expensive than renting a room or sharing a flat, it offers more comfort.

One of the great things about renting your own apartment is that you can invite friends over and enjoy more freedom, something that you might not get in a student residence. If you prefer not to share and you can afford it, you have some options like renting a one bedroom apartment or a studio flat for yourself. Just be prepared for rental costs of around €250 to €400 per month.

It’s quite common for some landlords to include utilities like water and electricity in the rent. To avoid any surprises, make sure to ask about this to your future landlord through our partners’ website.

Student rooms for rent in Turin

Renting a private or shared room is without a doubt the top choice for Erasmus students in Turin. There are plenty of verified and available options when looking for spare rooms in shared flats. The price is much lower, making your stay in the city more affordable.

Prices will vary according to the amenities of the room. For example, rooms with private bathrooms might cost more, and the location will also impact the rent price. Keep in mind that the closer to the city centre, the more expensive it becomes.

We believe that being well communicated is important and Turin has excellent public transport, so renting a room a bit farther from the centre can save you money without any hassle.
