Flats and rooms for students near UniTrento

In order to find accommodation near UniTrento, you should first identify where your faculty is located, so that you can then choose the ideal neighbourhood to live in nearby. Here’s everything you need to know:

Where’s the University of Trento?

The faculties of this institution are located in three different locations, called "Polo" in Italian (equivalent to a campus, although it’s not necessarily a single complex, but may consist of nearby buildings).

Polo di città (City campus)

As its name suggests, the buildings that make up this campus are located in the centre of Trento.

In it you’ll find:

• The Faculty of Jurisprudence
• The Department of Sociology and Social Research
• The Department of Economics and Management
• The School of International Studies
• The Department of Literature and Philosophy
• The School of Medicine and Surgery

Polo di collina (Campus on the hill)

This hub is located east of the centre of Trento, between the areas of Mesiano and Povo, which can be reached in less than 20 minutes by bus.

The Polo di collina offers classes in:

• The Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering
• The Department of Industrial Engineering
• The Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrated Biology (CIBio)
• The Department of Engineering and Information Sciences
• The Department of Physics
• The Department of Mathematics

Polo di Rovereto (Campus en Rovereto)

This campus is located in Rovereto, a small town south of Trento that can be reached in approximately 15 minutes by train. Because of this, many students choose to live in Trento (a slightly livelier city) and commute to Rovereto for classes.

Here, you’ll find:

• The Mind/Brain Interdepartmental Centre (CIMeC)
• The Department of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences

Which are the best neighbourhoods to live close to UniTrento?

Once you have identified the campus you’ll be attending, you can consider different neighbourhoods to live in close proximity to the institution. Some of the most popular choices among students are:

Centro Storico (Historical Centre)

This neighbourhood is a great place to live, both for those who want to be close to the UniTrento city campus and for those who want to be in the liveliest area of the city. Furthermore, there are good connections from the historic centre to the Polo di collina by bus and to the Polo di Rovereto from Trento central railway station.

Mesiano

Mesiano is east of Trento's historic centre, about a 20-minute walk away. Living in this neighbourhood is convenient, especially for those who are going to the Polo di collina. Keep in mind, however, that it’s a quieter, more residential area than the centre.

Povo

This area of the city, which is situated east of the historical centre, is convenient for students who want to live close to the institution’s Polo di collina and in a calmer environment.

It’s a more residential area and there’s not a wide variety of restaurants or leisure facilities, but you can reach the centre of Trento in about 20 minutes by bus and even faster by bike.

Student residences near UniTrento

In this Italian city, you can choose between private residences and university owned residences (the ones that the institution offers through Opera Universitaria). With a variety of options available, you’re sure to find one that’s conveniently located for you.
