Information about Accommodation ESU

General information

Every year ESU (the Regional Agency for the Right to Education) offers a variable amount of placements among the several halls of residence for the international exchange students. Usually the number of applicants is higher than the available spots. For this reason not all applications can be satisfied and only those submitted before the deadline (July 15^th for the first semester and November 15^th for the second) will be taken into consideration.

The allocation proceeds through the following formalities:

• The Accommodation Form has to be filled in all the parts (arrival time, permanence, options, signature of student and coordinator)
  
  
• The Form is classified according to the reception date (the date of the stamp is unreliable)
  
  
• The admitted students will receive (around the July 15^th for the first semester, November 15^th for the second) communication via publication on the website and an email indicating the admitted hall of residence, type of room and the availability period of the placement (that could not always coincide with the requested period).

In the email you will also find instructions to download from the web the necessary documents (contract, bank details, etc) or to cancel your request.

Courses at the University of Padua, in accordance with the different Faculties, are structured two monthly, three monthly and six monthly (semesters). Accommodation in ESU halls of residence is assigned according to the following periods*:

• September 27th, 2010 – December 30th, 2010

(*) The period could change according to the publication of the Academic Year

Three-month places are at 300€ (single room) 250€ (double room) monthly price; prices for other places depend on the type of the residence. People staying during different periods from the above mentioned ones can apply for a place in one of the guest lodgings.

It is NOT possible to choose in which hall of residence you would like to stay, even if it is possible to express your personal preference; the type of room (single or double) will be communicated at the moment of the allocation. The keys of the room are delivered at the caretaker's lodge.

The list of the assigned students will be published on the SASSA website about one week after the expired deadline.

The confirmation of the placement will be valid as soon as SASSA receives the receipt stating the payment of the deposit and the signed contract before the deadline indicated in the letter of allocation. The date on the stamp will not be considered therefore it is advisable to fax as well as send by recorded delivery together with a passport sized photograph.

ATTENTION: in case of cancellation of your stay in Padua after having paid the deposit, it will only be reimbursed in serious and attested cases (illness, accidents, etc.) and with a written notification at least 15 days before your arrival. Otherwise the deposit will be held as a compensation. If cancellation would occur after arrival in Padua, also a two month rent will be requested in addition to the loss of the deposit.
