The University of Parma, like most Italian Universities, is not a residential University, i.e., it does not have dormitories or long-term apartments for students. Therefore students must search for an accommodation on their own in private houses. However, there are various possibilities to find accommodation and the University will provide assistance to students through the following “Welcome Office”:
Mobility, Welcome and International Students Unit
Centro Accoglienza e Inclusione – Servizio Accoglienza (Welcome Office)
Università di Parma
Piazzale San Francesco, 2
I-43121 Parma PR, Italy
Tel.: +39 0521 034150
E-mail: welcome@unipr.it
Here you will find a list of available student rooms in private apartments managed through the intermediation of the university. Most room offers appear around the month of July each year, when most contract renewals take place.
To finalize your Visa processing, you are often asked an “Accommodation Letter” from the University of Parma. Such a letter is available in this pdf.
