I guess 'tipica' is not the proper word for an University.
It seems you've translated into Italian the English word "typical' but in Italian it has a slight different meaning.
Combined with University I would rather say 'speciale' (or 'caratteristica') and this could be the full sentence:
"A Padova c'è una speciale Università".
Also correct is to say "A Padova c'è un' Università speciale".
However,depending on the context, it could be more correct to say "un 'Università specialistica" (a specialized University).

I understand perfectly what you imply, namely that Padova has a university which is a classical example of a centre of learning which offers a wide choice of degree courses and has an active and lively student body. You certainly do not want to use "speciale" which may have the opposite connotation and would imply that it is "different"or "above average", nor do you want to say that it is a university that only caters for specialised disciplines (like Imperial College which is a specialised scientific university and would be described as "specialistica").
Go for "caratteristica" rather than "tipica". Ciao!

Yes it makes perfect sense: in Padova there is a typical University. You should only write it like this: A Padova c'è una tipica universitÃ

"tipica università " is grammatically ok but isn't correct because it has no sense.
what does it mean?! what do you want to say?
