Presentation
The Collegio S. Isidoro was inaugurated in 1955, at the express wish of Father Agostino Gemelli, founder of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
Located in the immediate vicinity of the Piacenza branch of the Catholic University, the College has undergone numerous changes and renovations over the years, also due to the increase in enrolments and the construction of the women's wing (opened in 2001). In September 2012 the accommodation offer was increased with the opening of the Aurelia Gasparini University Residence, (the Columbine), which, in addition to rooms for students and female students, houses a small conference centre (the Barn) and the campus guesthouse. The Collegio Sant'Isidoro and the Residence constitute a single collegiate community.
Since September 2013, with the closure of the road separating the college from the university and the concomitant creation of green areas, the Piacenza campus has become to all intents and purposes a seamless university campus. Its position adjacent to the Catholic University creates a highly fervourful aggregative pole, characterised by continuous exchanges and activities.
The facilities offer single rooms with bathroom and wi-fi service, kitchens and laundries in the dormitory areas, large common areas - study and recreation rooms - and the right-to-study services provided by EDUCatt, such as the catering service (available to all U.C.S. students), the health centre and the psychological support service.
Since 2012, the management of the college has been entrusted to EDUCatt, the university's right-to-study organisation.
