Where the right to education lives

With over 1500 beds in 15 residences, ESU offers students of the University, Conservatories and High Schools for Linguistic Mediators a safe place of socialization and hospitality to experience the city of Padua.
In addition, ESU provides 4 university guesthouses for short stays of international, priority non-EU, university-related guests.

Residences

ESU residences offer a variety of welcoming accommodations, ideal for study and social interaction, with a strong commitment to the quality of the environment, the space and the culture. A concierge is active during the academic year and there is support for students with disabilities. The cost of the rooms, varying between 135 and 420 euros per month, is calculated based on merit, economic condition and type of residence. The service covers the academic year and it offers summer accommodation for those that are eligible.

ESU welcomes international guests to Padua who are primarily non-EU and part of the university world and traveling for study or work (professors, researchers, PhD students). We offer modern and well-equipped facilities, close to the main university campuses and conveniently connected to the city center.

The offer varies from rooms to suites, with weekly or monthly accommodation, up to a maximum of 6 months. Additional services, which may vary for each structure, are designed to guarantee a comfortable stay, including concierge, Internet connection, laundry and more.
