Frequently asked questions
Admission is through a personal interview so we can get to know each other better. You can reach out using the contact details above and we will be happy to get back to you. Applications can be submitted throughout the year, but we recommend getting in touch well in advance to secure availability, especially for the start of the academic year in September. We look forward to meeting you!
To be admitted, you must be enrolled (or about to enroll) at a university or higher education institution in Milan. The Pensionato is reserved for male students. There is no strict age limit, but the residence is designed for university students (bachelor's, master's, postgraduate). You do not need to be Catholic: the residence welcomes students of all backgrounds and faiths.
Pensionato Bertoni offers the most competitive rate for student accommodation in Milan. The fee includes everything: single room with private bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, weekly cleaning with linen change, free kitchen and laundry on every floor, and access to the study room, recreational and sports facilities. Compared to typical student housing in Milan, a single room for students in Città Studi typically costs significantly more, and utilities are often excluded. The only excluded expense is food. Contact us for a personalized quote.
The stay follows the academic year, generally from September to July. Check-in for new residents usually takes place in the first week of September, before classes begin. Different move-in dates can be arranged, as well as shorter stays (semester, trimester). Check-out is by the end of July. Contact us to check availability.
Of course! We regularly organize Open Days and individual visits. The next Open Days are Saturday March 14 and Saturday May 2, 2026. You can book a visit by contacting us via email, phone or WhatsApp. We will show you the rooms, common areas and you can meet the management team.
The Pensionato has internal rules designed to ensure mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. The main rules cover quiet hours (especially during exam periods), care of shared spaces and general community guidelines. There is no strict curfew. The full set of rules is provided upon move-in and can also be found in the "Useful Materials" section below.
Every floor has a fully equipped industrial kitchen, completely free to use. You can cook independently with your own groceries. Many residents cook and eat together, making mealtimes a social occasion. Alternatively, the Pensionato has partnerships with local restaurants, bars and gyms.
External guests can access common areas during the hours set by the house rules. For rooms and overnight stays, specific rules apply and are communicated upon move-in. The Pensionato prioritizes a peaceful and respectful environment for all residents.
The Pensionato does not directly provide healthcare services, but the management is always available to guide residents. Residents can register with a local doctor in the area. In case of emergency, Fatebenefratelli Hospital and Policlinico are reachable in just a few minutes. The management is available to coordinate any urgent medical situations.
Residents who wish to continue their stay for the following year must communicate their intention to the management by the indicated deadline. Reconfirmation takes into account participation in community life, academic progress and compliance with house rules. It is not automatic: each request is evaluated individually by the management.
The Pensionato fee does not include personal insurance. We recommend that all residents arrange health insurance and civil liability coverage for the duration of their stay. The management can provide guidance on this.
The building has an elevator providing access to all floors. For specific accessibility needs, please contact us directly so we can evaluate the available options together.
Unlike a typical student hall or dormitory, Pensionato Bertoni offers exclusively single rooms for students in Milan with private bathrooms and an integrated educational project managed by the Stigmatine Congregation. It is not just student housing or student accommodation: it is a university residence and educational community with personal mentoring, cultural and sporting events, and formative activities throughout the academic year.
Pensionato Universitario Bertoni is managed by the Stigmatine Congregation, a religious order founded by Saint Gaspar Bertoni in 1816 and dedicated to the education of young people. The residence has been welcoming university students in Milan since 1951, with over 75 years of experience and more than 3,000 students hosted. It is named after the Congregation's founder and continues the Stigmatine educational mission.
The Pensionato does not have private car parking. The area offers street parking and the residence is well-connected by public transport (M4 metro, suburban rail, buses and trams).
The WhatsApp number is +39 379 357 5221. You can message us for information, to book a visit or to ask about availability.
