Start from the Istituto Marangoni campus
Istituto Marangoni’s Milan schools are in central locations. Confirm whether you are attending the Fashion or Design school and use that address as the anchor for your search. Central housing can be expensive, so direct metro access may be more practical than walking distance.
Areas to consider near Istituto Marangoni
Porta Venezia
Central, lively and relevant to fashion-oriented central Milan.
San Babila / Porta Vittoria
Very central and convenient, generally expensive.
Dateo
East-central alternative with transport links.
Città Studi
Can offer a more residential price profile with access to central Milan.

A direct line can create more affordable options without a complex commute.
University housing vs private market
Istituto Marangoni states that it does not generally operate its own dormitories in Milan but provides an accommodation service through trusted local partners, with options including student residences, shared apartments and private rentals. Its 2026 IM Life materials recommend early planning for students arriving from abroad.
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.
Central school, wider housing search
Do not assume you need to live beside the school. Central Milan’s rent premium can be significant. A direct metro route from a residential area can protect your budget while preserving a simple daily commute.
