Founded in 2001 by professionals from the academic, institutional and industrial worlds, Porta Nevia was inspired by St. Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei, with the aim of being a place for training, studying and discussions, capable of accommodating university students from all over the world.
About us
Porta Nevia
Direction Team
Porta Nevia is lead by professionals in the educational field. Their training is in continuous development; each year the members of the direction conduct refresher training and methodological enrichment.
The personal relationship that develops between direction and students is one of the many strengths of life at Porta Nevia; it’s a relationship built on listening and openness, to calmly face the challenges and embrace increasingly ambitious goals.
“Without Porta Nevia university study wouldn't have been the same: sharing "joy and sorrow" with many other students and finding a way to balance study and other opportunities, that the residence offers, means to really find a precious treasure”
Irene De Santis
Scienze dell’Educazione @ LUMSA
“The family environment that you live in in residence helps you to feel less homesick and to integrate into a new city. Opportunities to get involved, training, sharing and personal growth.”

“In the residence you find people, who regardless of diversity and distance, will always remain a piece of your heart to be considered home. All you have to do is put yourself out there!”

“During my university years, Porta Nevia was my "home away from home". A real big family where I met extraordinary people and made real friends. A unique opportunity that allows you to grow in an international and dynamic context.”

“A house to go to and to return to discover and rediscover the meaning and direction of one's life, the beauty of oneself, the uniqueness of relationships, the value of sharing and the authenticity of bonds regardless of physical and temporal distances.”

Residence Stories
The atmosphere that reigns in Porta Nevia is that of a typical welcoming home that is always open, where everyone cares for each other and works together for the good of all.
Life in the Residence is marked by commitment to daily practice, but is enriched by moments of fun, shared experiences, cultural studies and sports, that must be part of a young and university environment.
Like in a family, every resident is called on to take on small tasks to form a strong sense of responsibility and accountability, and to develop human skills both of relational and managerial nature. This approach will provide a wealth of essential experiences for the student’s personal and professional growth.
Home Administration Team
At Porta Nevia we take care of every detail to make residents feel at home. Specialized teams take care of housekeeping, cooking, cleaning and laundry services, creating a warm and cozy home.
Meals are prepared to provide a healthy and balanced diet. Like family, we pamper our students on joyous occasions such as holidays, birthdays and anniversaries.
