View from my apartment at night near the University of Nicosia in the suburb of Engomi in what Cypriots call Lefkosia.
This is an impressive private, not-for-profit university based in Nicosia. I have been very impressed at the resources and professionalism here. The teaching has been quite good and I have been treated with great kindness by the Office of Global Semesters here. My apartment is great, centrally located---right near a grocery store and 5 minutes to classes.
