In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation

(1) Never – (4) A lot

Final comments
If you need an accomodation, write soon to SASSA, the office for international relations because if you miss the final dates you have to look for a flat on your own and that´s not really nice at Padova...
