First of all the university lodgings are not sufficient to meetthe large demand of nonresistant students, who often have to make an effort andfind an alternative solution, renting a flat. The difficulties that students face when searching foran accommodation in the main Italian cities are various, from too high costsfor the limited budget to shabby buildings and an offer that cannot always meetthe demand, especially in some times of the year. Moreover, many student homesand flats are rented by the owners under the table, without a regular contract,which might have some consequences on the guarantee of the rents. But thefactor that most worries students and their families is the price of the flats,which exceeds the maximum amount of money that people can afford. The mostexpensive university cities in Italy are Rome and Venice: for a 40-60 m2 flat you can spend up to 870 euro per month in Romeand 800 euro in Venice, and the costs are not very different in other Italiancities, like Milan and Florence. No wonder that many families, or at leastthose who can afford it, prefer to make a long-term investment and buy a house,which can be used while their children go to the university and perhaps evenlater on. However, the most popular alternative is sharing an apartment, orsometimes a room, with other students, better if they are friends orclassmates. In the university cities there are special contracts especiallyconceived for the students who go to the university or attend further trainingand specialization courses. Among the students that decide to rent an apartment ora room there are some common trends: first of all, the time of the year withthe highest request is September-October when courses begin especially asfar as first-year students are concerned. The other students, who have alreadyexperienced the university life and the world of rents, look for a flat before,in July, while new students often wait for the beginning of the lessons tosearch an accommodation, especially if they have to take an admission test anddo not know what their destiny will be. The most sought-after lodgings are nearthe university or in areas that are well-served by public transportation (onlya few students have a car), and students have recently started preferring singleto shared rooms. Moreover, student pay more and more attention to thequality of the building and furniture, also due to the fact that they usuallyprefer furnished flats, and often choose flats with central heating and condofees included in the rent: their intention, indeed, is sparing as much aspossible, which is not always as simple as that.
