Pros and cons of studying in Padova
Why should someone study at Padova?
First of all it's one of the most famous and oldest University in Italy.There are many faculties and courses. If you choose faculties as Engineering or Economics you're gonna find old-fashioned lesson and strict professor that will give you a wide education. Lesson are face to face and you can do an exam twice if you couldn't have done it during the course. Exams are both written or oral, because in Italy students often copy from each other. There's no campus since the Univerisity is spread all over Padova, this could be a problem whether you have a lesson in a department and the next one in another department. If you like sports you can join CUS, and use the sport structures of the University. At Padova and in its suburbs there are a lot of pubs, discos and more.
There are some problems too: first of all the typical Italian disorganization: you have to queue a lot to have papers and documents, then it's hard to find and speak with a professor and the schedules are often awkward.

I don't think that to a famous and also oldest university is necessarily associated a good university. In italy older and bigger university are usually overcrowded and bad organized, while smarter ones are more more better! Moreover in italy the university where you graduate to it's not too much important. Instead, this fact in the USA it's very very important. Furthermore, bigger and more famous university are usally better.
Only one thing about bureaucratic problems of Padua: Ok, it's true when you say that there is a lot of disorganization. However I think that the university secretary's office is well organized to the point of view of queue management. You have only to take your ticket number and wait sitted down! This could seem a stupid thing, but in other universities that I've seen there isn't this kind of organization! So you have to wait stand up for hours!
