A day in the life of a student in Rome

I haven't gotten to show all of you what it's like studying in Rome so far! 
This is the top of the Campo Dei Fiori. We can see this view from the Rome Center. There are tons of little booths to buy things during the day. Around 3:30 all the vendors leave. At night time, the square is filled with people around the bars and restaurants.

Today, we got a visit from Amanda Knox's lawyers. We have had more than 3 guests come and speak to us and tell us about being lawyers in Italy. Yesterday, we met a man who is a human rights lawyer for the Council of Europe!

This is underneath the tents in the Campo. 

Every morning we have class starting at 9:30 am. First we do an hour and 20 minutes of Italian, and then we do European Law and Society until noon. Often times our guest speakers will come in the afternoon. Yesterday, we had some italian law students come to dinner with us!

This is lunch! It's like a ham and cheese sandwich! Today, we had to run and get lunch quick because one of the law professors gave us talk about law school and getting ready to apply. She said that she could be a reference for us in the future! :D

This is the view directly outside of our classroom in the Rome Center. It's beautiful!

  1. Look at what you're experiencing! Wow! Sounds as though the classes are really interesting. I love that you love the views from the Rome Center. I loved it there soooooo much. Smartest thing the UW ever did was buy that building.

    I'm really enjoying your blog. Keep those posts coming!
