Students represent an important component of the floating population in certain urban contexts, yet little is actually known of their distinct needs, urban practices and relationship with city life. This paper attempts to fill part of the knowledge gap, using the student population of Florence university as its case study and seeing mobility as a way of understanding students’ urban experience and their interaction with the city.
