Student apartments for rent in Venice

When starting your adventure in Venice, the first steps are booking your flight and securing accommodation. In this city, you’ll find various types of student housing, and we’ll explain the best options below.

If you’re travelling with friends or a partner and want more privacy, renting a full flat might be a great choice, even though it can be more expensive.

In Venice, you’ll find both apartments and studios, with prices varying depending on the location. For reference, flats usually cost around €800 per month.

When renting an apartment in Venice, make sure to check if utilities are included in the price before making a choice. This information is provided in the accommodation descriptions on Erasmus Play.

Student rooms for rent in Venice

Sharing a flat with people from different countries and cultures can be challenging for some people. Venice is relatively expensive, and rent is no exception. There are cheaper areas like Mestre or Marghera, but keep in mind that staying on the main island can be expensive, with room rents reaching up to €500 per month.

To lower this cost, you can consider renting a shared room. This is a great option if you’re already travelling with a friend from home since sharing a room with a stranger might not be appealing.

To find a good room in Venice, you need to act fast, as they get rented out quickly. Location is crucial, so use the Erasmus Play search engine to quickly access available rental listings and find the most convenient one.

Mestre is a great choice for students on a budget. It’s one of the most affordable areas to look for rental apartments in Venice. Also, this area has a vibrant nightlife, something rare in the region, which makes renting an apartment in Mestre a popular choice among Erasmus students.

Apartments in Marghera

If Mestre doesn’t suit your needs or you can’t find what you’re looking for, Marghera is a great alternative for finding rental apartments. It offers plenty of leisure plans and is conveniently located close to the centre, accessible by public transport.

Room rental in Lido

Lido is an ideal place for students looking to rent a room. It offers the special charm of central Venice without the hustle and bustle. If you seek tranquillity during your stay and good connectivity to other regions, Lido is a great option for renting accommodation.

Erasmus accommodation in Giudecca

Just 5 minutes by Vaporetto from Venice, Giudecca is highly recommended for young people looking for accommodation. It’s very close to the universities, which creates a vibrant atmosphere throughout the day.

Student residences in Venice

Venice student residences may not be the most popular choice among young people, but experiences may vary widely. Whether you choose to live in a residence or share a flat with other students depends on your preferences.

Most Erasmus student residences are in old buildings with small rooms. Combined with relatively high prices, this makes many students opt for renting a spare room in an apartment instead.

One of the best-known student residences in the city is the Gesuiti University Residence.
