Every year ESU (Regional Agency for the Right to Education) offers to international exchange students a variable amount of places at the residence halls. Usually, the number of applicants is higher than the available places. For this reason, not all applications can be satisfied and only those submitted before the deadline (June 30th for the first semester and November 15th for the second) will be taken into consideration.
Allocation is done considering the following points:
- Accommodation Forms have to be filled in all parts, only complete ones are considered.
- Complete Accommodation Forms are classified according to the reception date.
- Around July 10th for the first semester and November 20th for the second semester, the admitted students will receive communication indicating the offered hall of residence, the type of room and the available period of the accommodation (it might not be the same as the requested period).
In the email, you will also find instructions to accept or refuse the accommodation offer and the link to pay the guarantee deposit. Courses at the University of Padua are structured in two, three or six months periods (semesters), in accordance with the different departments. Accommodation at ESU halls of residence is assigned according to the following periods*:
- from September 23, 2021 to December 23, 2021
- from September 23, 2021 to January 28, 2022
