In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
The university is a bit disorganized, but that might be the case in all of Italy. Padua is located well for a lot of trips. If you want more alternative student life, go to Bologna. Padua is a rather rich and posh city.
