Living away from home, with real numbers.
Flatmates, rents, university cities. Every number has its official source next to it.
- 01Why it pays to find your flatmates first, and then the placeUsually it’s the other way round. You look for the room, you sign, and the flatmates arrive as a surprise package. Changing the order changes a lot.
- 02How many students study far from homeMore than half of university students in Italy study in a different province from the one where they finished school. In Bologna, almost eight in ten. The Ministry’s numbers, year by year.
- 03What a student room costs, according to registered contractsStudent rents are growing faster than the rest of the market. But the figure that gets shared doesn’t say what it seems to. What the Italian Revenue Agency’s numbers really show.
- 04The questions to ask before moving in with someoneNo interrogation needed. A few questions, asked beforehand, avoid the arguments every flatmate knows. Here they are, with why they matter.
- 05Milan, Bologna, Rome. Three university cities comparedHow many students come from elsewhere, what rents cost, how the universities are spread out. The three cities where Uniflat starts, side by side.
