Student & affordable
Città Studi is Milan's main university district, built around Politecnico di Milano's Leonardo campus. Budget trattorias, second-hand bookshops, and a genuinely international crowd keep rents lower than most of the city. It's unpretentious and functional — exactly what most students need.
