I don´t know. Not everyone hated the academics like me. I tried not to care so much, but the good student in me, had to study. I could have gone out more, and slightly regret that I didn´t, but that was my choice. Yet, when I did go out it was lovely. Its a nice campus, although small, in a nice part of town. A few teachers are great, but most students are apathetic. Rome is awesome.

Travel as much as you can on the weekends because you can see the city you are studying in during the week.

Try to learn where all the internet cafe's are because the computer lab is so small and it's hard to get access to the internet and write those papers!
