Università degli Studi di Pavia

WELL, A GOOD EXPERIENCE BUT PAVIA IS NOT THE BEST DESTINATION IN ITALY. IT IS TOO CALM AND I WOULD SAY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE CITIES SUCH AS ROME, NAPLES, BOLOGNA, PERUGIA WHERE STUDENTS HAVE MORE FUN (IMAGINE THAT IN THE WEEKENDS PAVIA IS QUITE EMPTY CAUSE MOST STUDENTS LIVE NEARBY THE LOMBARDIA PROVINCE AND THEY CHOOSE TO GO HOME)

OK

More detailed information about the courses.

Think more about the student community. Pavia's University has very expensive facilities even for the italian students.

That UNI started one week earlier...! No fix telefones in the houses (everybody uses mobils)...so I wouldn't have brought my PC to use internet!

Good Uni...very old and historically intersting...very nice looking...good reputation fpr medicine and business....high level.

There's a 3 week language course for erasmus students in September for 1st semester and again in February for 2nd semester students. It's definitely worth flying out that little bit earlier in time for this course. It's a really good ice-breaker, a great way to meet other erasmus students and build a rapport with the Italian students on the STEP comittee and the teachers are really helpful if you need any accomodation or settling-in advice.

Registering can be a bit daunting as you're pretty much left to your own devices. Best advice is to look at the course list, decide on a few you like the sound of then just turn up and sample a few lectures for the first couple of weeks before making your final decisions.
