Personal comments

I spent one month in the university's residence and it was a nightmare. It's one hour far from the university and the city center, it had a lot of restrictions (nobody allowed to enter our room,we had to ask permission for parties, return before 1p.m. otherwise the door was locked), very little facilities, rude guards and wires all around in order us not to escape!!!!
