Università degli Studi di Padova

University of Padova, Via Riviera Tito Livio 6, 35122 Padova, Italy, Padua
3.92 / 5 based on 174 reviews.
Description:
The Università degli Studi di Padova is the second oldest University in Italy and its traditional name is "il Bo", i.e. "the Ox".

Our relationships with other academic Institutions and Research Centres the whole world over, from America to China and Australia, are extremely active through exchange of professors, information and publications.

The University is in a phase of expansion and is looking at smaller towns nearby as sites for future initiatives (development of a polycentric University). Many of the students come daily to Padova from neighbouring villages and towns.

HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I would choose to live in an apartment/house as I would go with a different purpose. Campus is very good for a student life, but as I am trying to do an internship and then a job, I think an apartment would be more appropriate.
Personal comments:
The housing I was offered in Ceccarrelli, was one of the bests I could get in Padua in a campus. I was very good impressed about it, and I consider it perfect for a student life. The only thing I could complain about, was the internet facilities, which were limited. But I think this is a problem that could be solved pretty easy.
