Never before have we felt as much need of a strongly united community founded on deep values, such as personal worth, solidarity and the importance of the single person. Here in the city centre of Torino there are 5 community buildings belonging to Collegio Einaudi, where students regularly attending degree courses in several universities of Torino can live. Collegio Einaudi is the sole institution in Torino offering its students a single room complete with a private bathroom and Internet line (both cable and Wi-Fi connection are available). This is an especially safe feature in a time of pandemic,
ensuring that social distancing can be kept.

In every community building there are also fully equipped kitchens on each floor, study halls, music halls, fitness areas, a laundry room and guest-rooms to invite relatives over (costs for them are all included in the tuition fees). There are no hour, gender or wealth limitations: admission to the Collegio is by personal merit only, and fees are adjusted according to the ISEE calculation.

Included in the offer by Collegio Einaudi is also a Personalized Educational Programme, whose aim is to involve all students in a free-to-pay, interdisciplinary educational programme that will enrich and broaden the educational offer of our universities through supplementary activities, designed with innovative teaching methods and aiming to train self-aware, responsible citizens.

All accepted students will pay reduced tuition fees, since the yearly, ISEE-regulated fee they are requested to pay is lower than their actual studying expenses. Lastly, there are many scholarships available to excellent students (free lodging, studying bonuses, scholarships for a stay abroad, graduation bonuses, language certification and international mobility bonuses) and the Collegio works closely with CUS Torino in order to offer full access to sport facilities at discounted rates, just like any actual university campus.

Since yesterday, Thursday 25 th June, the self-managed study hall at the cultural lab “Manituana” in Largo Maurizio Vitale, 113 has been reopened. Its opening hours will be 8:30 am – 7:30 pm.

This open-air, well-shaded space can accommodate up to 30 people, so as to maintain social distancing and ensure that everyone can enjoy the shade during mornings. As the shade stretches further in the afternoon, it will be possible to add more seats. At any rate, the Facebook page of the related event will be updated once the area is full.
A sufficient number of sockets for everyone will be provided.

IUSTO is hosting their online open days on Friday 26th: the open day for the Bachelor Degree Course in Educational Studies starts at 11 am (you can find the participation form here), the one for the Degree Courses in Psychology at 4 pm (participation form here). These are two additional opportunities to discover the range of courses provided by the university located in Piazza Rebaudengo.
