Start from the Bocconi University campus
Bocconi’s main campus is centred around Via Sarfatti, Piazza Sraffa and the surrounding Bocconi/Ravizza area. If you want to walk to class, focus tightly around the campus. If budget or availability is more important, expand toward Porta Romana, Ticinese, Navigli and Ripamonti while checking actual transit routes.
Areas to consider near Bocconi University
Bocconi / Ravizza
Maximum proximity to campus and a strongly student-oriented environment.
Porta Romana
Central-residential, lively and convenient for Bocconi without living directly beside campus.
Navigli / Ticinese
Popular with students who value nightlife and social life; inspect noise carefully.
Ripamonti / Scalo Romana
A broader southern search area with changing housing stock and useful links to campus.
Porta Lodovica
Very close to Bocconi and the centre, typically competitive.
Corso San Gottardo
Useful connection between Bocconi, Navigli and southern Milan.
University housing vs private market
Bocconi operates seven university-owned residences and additional partner accommodation. For incoming exchange students in 2026/27, Bocconi states that housing is not guaranteed and that rooms are limited and allocated first-come, first-served. That makes a private-market backup plan sensible even if you apply for university housing.
If the university option is unavailable, does not fit your dates or does not match your housing preferences, the private market becomes the alternative. That is where location, documents, viewing logistics and speed matter most.
2026/27 residence context
Bocconi says its seven residences can host up to about 1,700 students, with additional partner places. Its exchange housing page lists semester products and explicitly warns that application access does not guarantee assignment because availability is limited.
