One of the first questions every international student asks is: where will I live? Arezzo, a charming Tuscan city, offers affordable and welcoming housing options for students. This guide walks you through everything you need to know.
University Student Residences
Università Verde di Toscana helps admitted students access dedicated student residences in Arezzo. These residences offer furnished single and double rooms, shared kitchens and study areas, and a built-in international community. Spots are limited, so apply for housing as soon as you receive your admission letter.
Shared Apartments with Other Students
The most popular option among international students is renting a room in a shared apartment. Websites and local Facebook groups list rooms in Arezzo starting from around 300 to 450 euros per month, utilities included. Sharing with fellow students is also a great way to make friends and practice Italian.
Homestays with Local Families
Living with a Tuscan host family gives you an authentic cultural experience and daily Italian practice. Homestays typically include a private room and some meals, and our student services office can connect you with verified host families.
Average Costs to Expect
Arezzo is significantly more affordable than Milan or Rome. Budget between 300 and 550 euros per month for housing depending on the option you choose. Add roughly 100 to 150 euros for food and local transport, and you have a realistic monthly budget for student life in Tuscany.
Tips to Secure Your Accommodation
Start your search early, ideally two to three months before arrival. Never pay a deposit before seeing the place or signing a contract. Ask the UVT student services team to review your rental agreement. Join student groups to find roommates and trusted listings.
Final Checklist Before You Arrive
Confirm your housing before booking your flight. Keep digital copies of your contract. Learn the address and how to reach it from the Arezzo train station. Once you arrive, register your address as required by Italian law. With housing sorted, you can focus on what matters: your studies and your new life in Tuscany.
