After Milan, in Rome students in tents against expensive rents

Against the expensive rents the tents also appear in front of the Sapienza of Rome. After the initiative of the Polytechnic student, Ilaria Lamera, some Sapienza students also camped in front of the Rectorate to shed light "on the problem of housing in Rome".
The data confirm that "today looking for a house in Rome has now become a business, the available apartments cost an average of € 500 and the off-site students are 40 thousand, a third of the entire population of the University - say the students. - The tools that the region makes available through the housing contribution and scholarships remain temporary and meagre solutions, and the money invested for student residences is still too little".

Third day in a student tent, Milan is impracticable - Lombardy

"The situation here in the city is impractical. I went to visit an indeterminate number of houses and for all of them they asked for a single from 700 euros upwards, without the expenses": the protest against the cost of rents in Milan continues for the third day. (ANSA)

"The situation has now become unsustainable" says Leone Piva, the Coordinator of Sinistra Universitaria, "having a house in Rome for a student is now a privilege that few can afford, and those who are most in difficulty are forced to work in extremely precarious conditions in order to maintain the cost of a rent. We believe that the government, instead of investing in private residences, must reverse the direction in terms of housing policies, implementing maneuvers that can smooth out housing prices, making La Sapienza and Roma spaces that are truly student-friendly."
