Student's halls of residence

In Italy, students' halls of residence (including other student facilities such as cafeterias, gyms, etc.) are not managed by universities. The public body in charge of them is, in our case, the Abruzzo Regional Agency for Education, aka A.D.S.U. (Azienda per il Diritto agli Studi Universitari - L'Aquila), instead.

If you wish to find a place in the dorms and shared flats managed by A.D.S.U., you will have to apply typically in July. But note that:

• Places are limited and usually reserved for students from low-income families.

• Ranking lists might be published even in late October, which means you will be spending a lot on a temporary place to stay (e.g., a bed and breakfast) in your first weeks in L'Aquila while you are waiting for the lists to be out.

Applying for UAQ-ADSU housing - Deadline July 27, 2026, at 1 pm CEST

We are pleased to inform you that this year, the allocation of part of the places that ADSU offered in their residences last year will be directly managed by the University of L’Aquila.

The call for applications has recently been published and is available here.

UAQ-ADSU will offer accommodation in two student residences called:

• "Il Moro – Pal. H1 and H8": 110 spots available in single and double rooms (with twin beds); located in Via Antica Arischia 46, a 15-minute walk from our campus;

• "Campus Cannelle": 50 spots available, mainly in double rooms with twin beds (a limited number of single rooms available here), situated in via Tancredi da Pentima 2, a 15-minute walk from the city centre.

For more details about terms, conditions, and fares, refer to the official announcement.

Private shared flats

As L'Aquila is undergoing huge reconstruction after the 2009 earthquake, we strongly suggest you opt for renting a flat from private owners. The cost per person ranges from 200 to 350 euros per month, depending on several factors, e.g. shared or private rooms, utility bills included or not, and neighbourhood. By the way, living near the campus (the area is in a suburb in west L'Aquila known as Coppito) can be cheaper, but this means living away from the city life (events, nightlife, restaurants...).
