Thursday I had the opportunity to see my new school for the first time. The campus is very pretty, and very safe, with a wall all around it and guards at the doors. Inside, there is a lot of green space, some nice buildings and some not so nice (if you know the UW campus think of a mix like Humanities and Bascom).
The strangest thing on campus are the small deers, called Venados which roam around campus. They run through the sidewalks and are fed daily by the University. My compañero de PUCP said that the legend is two escaped from the zoo which is close by years ago and since then have multiplied. I think this may be more legend than truth.
This is a Venado on the PUCP campus, but I didn't take this picture.
There are four cafeterias on campus and a couple cafes where I can buy lunch, which is a large plate of food, for only 3 soles. This is equivalent to about $1.25, so it is very cheap!
Right now, I'm trying to decide on my classes.. Whether to take easier classes in the more general faculty or harder ones in the Anthropology college. I also would like to only have classes during the middle of the week if possible so I can travel on the weekends. But I think I might have to take some classes on Monday. We have a week to go to classes and see which ones we would like to take. Then, on August 22nd we have to arrive early to register for the ones we want to take.
