Because student housing is separated into apartment complex-style living, each building is very different and has a unique location. The building I stayed in was at the top of the hill, close to the buildings where classes are held. Just next to this building, there is a popular pub called Irish Pub Sorengo - a popular late-night spot and a great place for lunch. Just behind the complex is a path to monastery, where we often hung hammocks. I usually went here after class and read.












This was nice because I could go there alone and take a break from everyone or I could go with roommates.












I also enjoyed walking around Lugano just to see all the vibrant colors and architecture. It is a particularly lovely  place when it rains. Outdoor shops and vendors remain outside and open umbrellas.
