* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Did not have internet for about 1/4 of time out there. Even though we were paying for it. Overall, was in great location (Prati), and everything we needed was provided. would have like to have been housed with more like-minded students. Very frustrating having a drunk slob who never cleaned up apt. Whats point of administration having us fill out forms of preference if they don't follow them? |
