Practicalities for the USI community

Housing in Lugano / Mendrisio

Unfortunately, USI does not have enough accommodation on campus for all students.
The majority of Bachelor/Master and PhD students looking for accommodation will have to make their own arrangements, but they can rely on support from the Front Desk and Housing Service.

  • Student residences

    USI’s two student residences (USI Home on the Lugano campus, Casa dell’Accademia on the Mendrisio campus) are reserved first of all for exchange students, international students on certain scholarships and German-Swiss or French-Swiss students enrolled in the first year of the Bachelor in Architecture.

    Other students may apply for accommodation, but should understand that their application is unlikely to be accepted.
