Student Life and Housing in Venice: The Ca’ Foscari University Experience
Studying at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice is more than just an academic pursuit; it is a unique life experience in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. However, living in a floating city like Venice requires advance planning, especially regarding student housing and transportation. In this guide, we provide a realistic look at what awaits you as an international student.
Student Accommodation in Venice: Challenges and Solutions
Finding a place to stay is the top priority for new students. Due to the city’s touristic nature, several accommodation options in Venice are available:
-
University Housing (ESU Venice): The university provides subsidized rooms through the ESU foundation. However, spots are very limited and require early application.
-
Private Housing: Students often search for shared apartments in the heart of Venice or in Mestre, the mainland area. Mestre is generally more affordable and offers easy access to the university via a short train or bus ride.
-
Private Student Residencies (e.g., Camplus): Modern options that offer integrated services like high-speed internet and gyms, though at a higher price point.
Smart Tip: If you are concerned about your housing budget, be sure to check our guide on tuition fees and scholarships at Ca’ Foscari to learn how regional grants can cover a significant portion of these expenses.

Water Transport (Vaporetto): As a student, you can apply for the Venezia Unica card, which provides massive discounts on water bus fares.
-
University ID (CartaConto): This is your official student ID. It also functions as a bank card that you can use at university cafeterias (Mensas) and libraries.
