The Pavia university website www.unipv.it has loads of information for international students so check that out before you leave. You can also download the application forms from there too.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
With the combination of the language course, accomodation and the STEP insternational students' organistion and the activities, trips and events they put on, it's is well worth spending a semester or even a year in Pavia.

Final comments
Although Pavia is a small town, there's plenty do do and see around and about and with it being on the main train line through northern italy, travelling is really easy. Make sure you get your accomodation application in on time, and don't forget the medical certificate from your doctor at home (which MUST be translated into Italian) as they won't even look at your application without it.

I loved my experience. But I found Pavia a very "bourjois" town where not everybody can live well. From canteen meals to nightlife, everything is expensive wich makes people stay home. Despite the University, Pavia isn't the university town I would imagine.
But "l'Italia è bella"! and I had the opportunity to travel a lot and get to know it well and just loved every little detail. In the end, I would have done it all the same!

“Perfect university if you want real-life examples”
Rebecca S
Italy, Graduate
Business Studies, 2022
Overall
The professors are really supportive if you have any kind of problems. A grand variety of courses are offered. The best part is that in most of the courses there are testimonials from experts in the field that give advice as well as companies and start-ups that tell there story. It is a very good opportunity to learn from real-life examples. The assignments are many so that there's always practice for the theoretical part. It is truly a good university to learn something for life and be better equipped for the working world.

Pros
-many testimonials, many assignments to practice what you learned
Cons

“Internesting and captivating classes at this Italian prestigious university”

Overall
Courses in this university are pretty diversified just like the students who are internationals or locals (Italians). this diversity makes the institution more interesting and more lively, as well as classes more interesting in the exchange of information and ideas and opinions. professors are all very well informed about the field and they maintain a professional and friendly level of relationship with their students.
