Living here · ESU residences
Every student residence, and what a bed would cost you
ESU, the regional body for student services, has 30 residences for University of Padova students, 22 of them in Padova itself and the rest in Legnaro, Rovigo, Vicenza and Castelfranco, plus 2 guesthouses. The rent depends on your scholarship status and the room, so tell it who you are.

Not for students: ESU's three guesthouses
Short stays of a week to six months for visiting professors, researchers and PhD students, mostly from outside the EU. Useful if a relative on a university visit asks. Requests go through ESU's Student Desk.
How a bed is assigned
You do not rent an ESU room the way you rent a flat. There is one call a year, a ranking, and an offer you have a few days to accept.
Apply in the summer
One online application in ESU's Student Desk, with SPID or CIE, or a username if you are an international student.
Closed: 25 August 2026 at 10:00 for first years, 19 August at 10:00 for later yearsYour income decides the ranking
First years are ranked on income alone; later years on credits too. From abroad, that means the ISEE parificato.
ISEE up to €26,306.25 · ISPE up to €43,125.94Watch the portal for an offer
Rankings come out in rounds through September. You may rank the residences, but a bed goes where there is space.
About 1,400 beds in this year's callAccept within days
Pay the deposit through PagoPA before the deadline in the offer, or the bed goes to the next person. There is no second offer.
€380, paid through PagoPA within a few days of the offer
The rents are ESU's published table for this academic year. They include bills, internet and the concierge. Stays of up to three months at the not-eligible rate cost a little more; the table says how much.
