===Italy===

In [[Italy]], independent halls of residence known as 'colleges of merit' operate in a number of university cities, offering tutoring, supplementary teaching, and additional diplomas.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.collegiuniversitari.it/en/home | title=Home }}</ref> The university in which the collegiate model is most developed is the [[University of Pavia]] with four independent colleges (including two established in the 16th century: [[Collegio Borromeo]], founded in 1561, and [[Collegio Ghislieri]], founded in 1567) and 12 public colleges. However, neither in Pavia nor in any other Italian university do students have to be members of colleges.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.unipv.eu/site/en/home/international-students/living-in-pavia/university-colleges.html|title=University Colleges|publisher=University of Pavia|access-date=31 August 2017}}</ref>
