Student Accommodation in Padua (Padova): Complete Guide
Padova — known in English as Padua — is a university city in northern Italy, about 40 km west of Venice. The Università degli Studi di Padova is one of the oldest universities in the world (founded 1222) and attracts thousands of international and Erasmus students every year.
The city is flat, compact, and made for cycling. Nearly every faculty is reachable in under 20 minutes by bike from the city centre.
The faculties — and where they are
Padova has no single campus. The faculties are spread across the city:
| Faculty | Area |

| Il Bo — main building | Historic city centre |
| Engineering & Science | East side of centre |
| Medicine · Hospital | Near the Ospedale Civile |
| Psychology | Central |
| Economics (Santa Caterina) | South of centre |
