The Padua groups for 2027-2028 are not open yet

There is no verified Padua group for the 2027-2028 academic year yet. Each cycle's groups usually open between May and July of the preceding year, once places are confirmed. We only publish a group once its invite link genuinely works, so this page will update as soon as a Padua group is confirmed.

In the meantime, here is what we do know about Padua:

(The city)

Erasmus in Padua: what to know first

A historic university city near Venice. Compact and easy to get around by bike.

The Padua groups for the 2027-2028 academic year are not run by any institution: they are opened by students arriving that same year, usually between the spring and summer before. They fill in waves — first the people with a confirmed place, then the ones locking down housing — which is why a group created too early often stalls half empty.

You do not need to join all of them. Start with the one that solves your most urgent problem in Padua, and add the rest once you have an arrival date.

In Padua housing is the real bottleneck, so the accommodation group is the one to check before any other.

(Safety)

Before you join a Padua group

Erasmus groups are also hunting ground for rental scams, especially in Padua when demand spikes. Three rules head off almost every problem:

  1. 01Never pay a deposit or a holding fee for a room you have not seen, contract or no contract: it is the most common scam and the most expensive.
  2. 02Be wary of anyone who pulls you out of the group into a private chat to close the deal fast and under pressure.
  3. 03A price far below the city reference is almost never a bargain; it is the bait.
