A city to discover, services to know.
This guide brings together the practical services a student needs in Rovigo, each with an address, opening hours and a link to the official source: transport, university, healthcare, safety, public offices and everyday life.
For travel around the city, urban transport is run by Busitalia Veneto, which sells tickets and passes, including student passes; monthly and annual student passes are not valid on Sundays. For university administration, the point of contact is the administrative office of Consorzio Università Rovigo (CUR). Regional scholarships depend on the university you attend: for students at the University of Padua, they are handled by ESU in Padua.
For healthcare, students living away from home can contact Azienda ULSS 5 Polesana about choosing a GP in a municipality other than their place of residence. For documents and certificates, there is the Municipality of Rovigo's online service desk, while residence permits are handled by Questura di Rovigo.
This page is part of the Student guides to Rovigo compiled by the Studenti Rovigo editorial team. At the bottom, you will find frequently asked questions with short answers and, to explore further, links to student discounts and benefits, practical guides, first days and international students; every place mentioned is also shown on the city map.
