Finding a place to live in a new city - especially when you're coming from abroad. Figuring out health insurance and dealing with paperwork. Trying to make connections before you've even met your classmates. For many students, these are the challenges that fill the weeks before classes begin. To make this transition easier, Istituto Marangoni Milano created IM Life, a department dedicated to supporting students through every stage of their academic journey. From the moment you enrol, IM Life provides services, guidance, and initiatives designed to make arriving in Milan - and your entire university experience—smoother, more enjoyable, and more rewarding.

Where will you live?

One of the first questions every student asks when moving to a new city or country is probably: Where am I going to live? Istituto Marangoni Milano has teamed up with trusted agencies and partners to offer a range of accommodation options - both short- and long-term - to suit different needs and budgets.
All the information is available on our dedicated Accommodation page, which you can access by clicking HERE.

Tailored health insurance support

Moving to a new country also means adapting to a different healthcare system. IM Life provides clear guidance on the available health insurance options, helping you make informed decisions and start your experience in Milan with the confidence that you have the right coverage. A new partnership with the Welcomed multidisciplinary medical centre will also be launched soon, further expanding the healthcare services available to students.

Events and activities to help you feel part of the community

IM Life's role extends well beyond practical support. Throughout the academic year, the department enriches student life by organising events, cultural initiatives, and themed clubs, many of which are inspired and developed by the students themselves. Often, it’s these experiences outside the classroom that leave the most lasting memories. They help you make real connections and build a professional network that will stay valuable long after graduation.

Exclusive benefits and partnerships

To help students experience Milan to the fullest, IM Life also offers IM Community Benefits - a programme that gives you access to exclusive discounts and special offers from companies and institutions across the city. From restaurants and gyms to wellness centres, museums and many other services, the list of partners keeps growing, and you can check it out in the IM Society app even before classes begin.
