Final comments
Personally, it was important to understand from the beginning that i would have had to change my way of thinking and behaving in the university environment. Moreover it has been crucial to learn to be open to the others and to be able to gain something from all the persons i met. Finally in every situation i learnt that i have to do my best if i really want to leave a mark.
