Turin is where our on-the-ground support runs deepest — most of our students studying at the University of Turin are here, and it's the city we can genuinely walk you through room by room rather than pointing at a listings site and wishing you luck.
It's a compact, walkable city built around wide boulevards and porticoed streets, with the Alps visible on a clear day and a genuinely low cost of living for a major Italian university city.
CityDetail.typicalRent
| Single room, shared flat | roughly €400–600/month |
| Shared/double room | roughly €250–350/month per person |
| Studio (monolocale) | roughly €500–850/month |
The University of Turin's own international-student guidance puts total monthly living costs (rent, food, utilities, transport) at roughly €850–1,000+. A deposit of 2–3 months' rent is a common convention (Italian law caps it at 3 months), and agencies typically charge a fee on top — check the exact terms before signing anything.
CityDetail.neighborhoods
- San Salvario — central, multicultural, good nightlife, close to Politecnico and the medical faculties
- Vanchiglia — favoured by students at Campus Luigi Einaudi and Palazzo Nuovo
- Crocetta / Cenisia — quieter and residential, right by Politecnico's Corso Duca degli Abruzzi campus
- Santa Rita / Mirafiori Nord — more affordable, a bit further from the centre

CityDetail.gettingAround
GTT (Gruppo Torinese Trasporti) runs the city's buses, trams, and metro. Students get a discounted annual pass, with a further ISEE-income-based discount for those who qualify — and from the 2025–26 academic year, Piedmont's regional "Piemonte Viaggia Studia" programme offers free public transport to university students under 26. A separate, pricier "Formula" tier covers the wider integrated urban-and-regional-train zone, for students who commute in from outside the city.
