Studying and Living in a European City

The Foundation is based in the Main Building of The University of Parma, in the city center. Parma is a student-friendly city and it’s ideal to combine education, culture, and leisure. This city is open and easy to live in, and it’s among the most appreciated Italian and European cities.

Data show that Parma is among the leading European cities in terms of quality of life, which does not only equate to wealth but also to social services and accessibility to many cultural events: drama, music, concerts, cinema, libraries, museums, and exhibitions. The city also hosts many important trade fairs and has numerous sports facilities.

As a result of the high number of university students living in Parma, social life is quite active and exciting. Leisure opportunities are endless and diverse. Food is renowned, and “having a meal together” is a social and tasty tradition. The city center is full of wine bars, small “trattorias”, pizza places, pubs, and cafès, which are easily reachable on foot or by bike.

The European College of Parma offices can give advice and support to college students seeking accommodation in the city of Parma.
