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
by Lisa, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, United Kingdom
Business Studies, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: halls of residence
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: halls of residence
Why? It is a way to meet and live with people from all over the world.
Personal comments:
The halls of residence where i stayed were fantastic. There was a large study room, computer room with free internet access, a games room, and a small gym. The only downfall was that the kitchen was rather small. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
by Italien, Ludwig Maximilians Universität München, Munich, Germany
Psychology and Behavioural Sciences, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The events organized by the Erasmus-organisation are fine things to do and to meet other people. Best Pizzeria: Pizzeria Savonarola (Via Savonarola) Nice and cheap cinema: Excelsior (near mensa San Francesco/ via s. Margherita) Meeting point every night: Piazza delle Erbe - "Lo Spritz" (Thursday: Life-Music) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC

History of Art, University Agreement
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Our university classes were taught at an independent center apart from the rest of the university, so this isolated us from the larger university.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: Italian
Was learning Italian a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Italian How much did you improve your Italian?
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
the language course for Erasmus-students could be better. You should try to talk as much Italian as you can. Possibility to find a tandem-partner with the help pf the Erasmus-organisation This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
If you are studying Psychology and your main goal in going there is for academic reasons, it may not be the right place. If you are looking for a balance between academic, social and a beautiful country, Italy is the best! FINAL COMMENTS
Italy is a fantastic country. The people, the food, the landscape, the arquitecture are absolutely great. I would highly recommend it for an Erasmus (or similar) experience and I will forever have a special feeling about this country. The whole country is worth visiting.
