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
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The halls are only small and if you go through Sassa, they will find you suitable accommodation. Our apartment was gorgeous.
Personal comments:
As said previously, ouir apartment was great, balconies and ensuite bathrooms, although we had to share. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
