Personal comments

Because APU is situated an top of a mountain, the dormitory could get a little laborious, but because there are so many people living there from all over the world, it was a great place to sit and discover new things about other people and their cultures

The dorms are quite small and again are isolated from everything else. Transportation from the dorms to the city costs $4 each way and takes @40 minutes. From where I lived it took @15 min. but cost $3 each way to get to the school. You are not allowed to have a car and the only other way to get to school is by scooter.
