If you are in the Station area, we suggest you use the train. With 1.35 euros each way you will have many fast regional and regional trains that connect Mestre to Venezia Santa Lucia. Remember to validate your tickets. You can buy it by the ticket office in station, automatic vending machine, or by app and website https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html
You can also take the bus. There are several lines connecting Mestre to Piazzale Roma: check Google Maps or the ACTV website to see what is most convenient for you. One of the most frequent lines are T1 (Tram), and buses n.2, n.4 e 4L, n 5, 7 and 7L, all running frequently. The land transport ticket costs 1.5 euros, is valid for 75 minutes from when you validate it (it is mandatory to do so!) and can be purchased at newsstands and tobacconists, as well as at the counters marked ACTV in Piazzale Roma and Venezia Santa Lucia. Bus rides are also included in the weekly pass that you may receive from the Campus (TBC) Please note that the single fare tickets for buses are NOT valid for navigation (except for weekly passes). The single fare for ACTV water buses (vaporetto) costs 7.5 euros unless you have a weekly pass (which might be provided by the Campus, but we cannot tell you for certain at the moment).
