Good faculty and a wonderful campus.

Tips: The Physics faculty is extremely good in research, and the master's curriculum is outstanding for theoretical physics. Regarding the city, the roads are not ideal for bikes, buses are often late, and trains frequently experience delays. However, the food is excellent.

A great journey through culture, nature and academia.

Tips: There will be a positive cultural shift as you start studying here at the University of Padova, Italy. You will meet a lot of students from different countries, literally every corner of the world, with different cultural backgrounds. A perfect place to enjoy the intensity of European heritage and academia simultaneously. Even though you might miss Indian food, you will get introduced to Italian food and culture, which is definitely enjoyable. It is one of the oldest universities in Italy, with historic buildings. I also had a regional Veneto scholarship of around 7000 euros per year, for which you have to apply separately without missing; search for scholarships Unipd or regional Veneto scholarship Unipd. I had an adventurous life as a student here. I used to have a lot of field activities in my course, for which I had to visit the beautiful mountains of the Alps. Of course, everything has a little bit of a negative side, too. It's a little bit hard to find part-time jobs here as it's a small student town, but it's not impossible. Language could be a barrier as outside the university everyone speaks Italian also, if you wish to find a job in Italy in the future, but if you are ready to learn Italian, life here could be more interesting and exciting.

Likes (Student Life): The university buildings, libraries, study centres, and student gatherings throughout town create a fantastic academic environment. Aside from the part-time job situation, it's a great place to enjoy student life.

Dislikes (Part time work): Padova is primarily a student city, not a commercial hub, so finding many jobs is difficult. Competition to find a job is also higher. If you learn Italian, the chances of finding part time job are easier. Most part time jobs are within the university, such as tutor buddy or different departments, and outside in restaurants

Independence, culture, and opportunity at Unipd.

Tips: Before I came to the University of Padua, I didn't know it was prestigious, and I wasn't fully prepared for how the education system was. You have to learn a lot on your own, and they don't hold your hand. When I arrived, it was a challenge to navigate the paperwork. I had to deal with the visa, the permesso di soggiorno, and hygiene. The culture was also a bit different. People here are more laid-back, focused on social life. I have been awarded a scholarship, the Padua International Excellence Scholarship. I got it through my early application; it was based on my previous education and a motivation letter. It included a tuition fee waiver and around 8,000 per year. I am very happy with my course and Padova. The city is small enough to have a community, but also full of history and art. The country itself is beautiful, rich in culture and very accessible to students. The language is important; I started learning English first, but I also learned a little Italian for everyday life. If you are willing to learn independently and are open to different cultures, Unipd will be a great place for you.

Highly theory oriented course structure.

Tips: Try to look for accommodation 5 months before your arrival date. Find someone in your class who did a Bachelor's here or your seniors in order to understand the examination system and plan ahead, because it's difficult to graduate in 2 years. The campus is very student-friendly and vibrant.

Likes (Public transportation): Padova is a well-connected city with trams and buses. Students can get a cheaper monthly subscription, around €25 for urban rides and €40 for suburban rides. The city is building two new tram lines near all university buildings, which will make commuting to and around the university much easier in two years.

Dislikes (Part time work): The Italian language is mandatory for most part-time jobs in Padova. The university posts a few part-time jobs, and you'll be competing with 60,000 students. Many international students work in food delivery, earning around €1 per kilometre. Other jobs, like bar or water tender, pay an average of €7 to €9 per hour.

Value for money, oldest and research oriented university.

Tips: Attendance is compulsory for some courses, making it difficult to work part-time in most cases. Regional scholarships are available for low-income students. I am very satisfied with the quality of education I am receiving, and the scholarship is sufficient for a normal student life.

Likes (Safety): I haven't experienced any harassment or theft within the student community. It's a very safe place for students pursuing their bachelors and masters degrees. There are separate lockers for storming bags, and the buses run until 10 pm and are much safe than other tourist areas.

Dislikes (Part time work): Attendance is compulsory for some studies, so finding part-time work is often difficult. The average wage is around 1 euro per hour; however, wages can increase to 9 euros per hour for roles requiring specific skills, such as English proficiency.

Very good and liberal university.

Tips: It's one of the oldest and most celebrated universities. It's highly competitive but liberal at the same time. You don't need to finish your Bachelor's in 3 years; you can choose to do fewer courses per semester and increase the overall span of your Bachelor's to 4-5 years. You can apply for exchange semesters in various countries. I got in here as a part of the Erasmus Mundus scholarship, which gives an average of 1300-1400 per month. The whole city is perfect for students, there are several study rooms, libraries and a cafe, and the city is full of students. But it's not very safe, and thefts are very common.

Likes (Indian Food): There are several restaurants and grocery stores, and you can get literally every dal, spice, maggi, and sweet you need from India. I prefer cooking for myself because restaurants are not very affordable, but there is an affordable canteen at the university. Italy has more options for vegetarians than Spain or France.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are jobs but most are reserved for European and most have very low salary. Also, there are a lot of frauds and scams here. I have seen so many Indian and Bangladeshi students suffering for getting placed after graduation, especially mechanical engineers.
