Living in an American campus, Roger Williams University

Roger Williams University is a "small" -only 4,000 students- American college. It is located in Bristol, Rhode Island. The Rhode Island is the smallest State of the USA. It is located on the North-East beautiful coast.

The first night we -my future roommate & I- arrived at RWU, we almost froze. I'm not kidding, -25°C... Time to go to bed, we had not sleep for 24 hours.
When we woke up, the same day, we discovered the nice -very very nice- view of our new flat. It suddenly improved our reaction to the cold weather.

A few days after our arrival at RWU, we were already used to the way of living of the American students. I'm not sure why, it was very easy to get used to it... or maybe the following elements are the explanation...

A great welcome,

                                                                

A great Business School

...with an amazing library right in front of it

                                             


What should I say about the environment of the campus? The photos speak for itself...

 Great facilities...

I'm sure you understand now why it was so easy for me to get used to the way of living of the American students... ;)

The best things about the States -according to MCB..., which means me ;) -
