"I spent quite some time living in this dorm and I must admit I loved that place, and despite some technical issues there were I would definitely
recommend Campus to anyone.
No matter in which part you get a room, the view and amazing calmness of the environment is something priceless. I have loads of great memories connected with the people I met in my neighbourhood and that apartment in the fila I will always be a part of my heart.
