Student support at Vita-Salute San Raffaele is comprehensive and personalized. Each student is assigned a faculty tutor for academic guidance. The International Office provides extensive support for visa procedures, accommodation, and cultural integration for international students. A dedicated Psychological Counseling Service offers free and confidential support. The University also provides active services for students with disabilities, ensuring full accessibility and tailored learning plans. Furthermore, administrative offices offer assistance with enrollment, fees, and bureaucratic matters, while a chaplaincy provides spiritual support, aligning with the university's attention to the person as a whole.

Student Life

Student life at San Raffaele is vibrant and community-oriented, enriched by its campus setting. Students can engage in over 30 student-led clubs and associations covering academic, cultural, recreational, and volunteer activities. The university organizes numerous events, including scientific seminars, cultural talks, and social gatherings. The campus location, while slightly outside Milan's center, offers a focused environment with all essential services on-site, and the city's rich social and cultural life is easily accessible via metro. This creates a balanced experience of intense study within a supportive, collaborative community.

Housing facilities (Accommodation)

The university offers guaranteed accommodation for all first-year out-of-town and international students in its on-campus residences. These residences, such as the "Villa Azurea" and "Residenze del Sole" complexes, provide furnished single or shared rooms with ensuite bathrooms, common kitchens, laundry facilities, and study rooms. Living on campus fosters a strong sense of community, facilitates peer-to-peer learning, and provides unparalleled convenience, with academic buildings, the library, and the hospital just a short walk away in a secure environment.

Student Safety

Student safety is a paramount priority. The entire San Raffaele campus is a monitored, gated community with 24/7 security patrols and controlled access points to all buildings, including residences. Emergency call points are located throughout the campus. The university provides safety orientation and has clear protocols for emergencies. The campus's self-contained nature and the constant presence of security personnel and hospital staff contribute to a pervasive sense of security for all students and staff.

Career Support

The Career Service "Stage & Placement" office offers robust, tailored career support. Services include one-on-one career counseling, CV and cover letter workshops, and mock interview sessions. The office manages a dedicated online portal listing internships and job opportunities specifically for San Raffaele graduates, leveraging its extensive network. It organizes the annual "Career Day," bringing top employers in healthcare, pharma, research, and psychology to campus. For Medicine graduates, dedicated support is provided for navigating the Italian and European medical residency (Specializzazione) application processes.
