How was your university experience (if you went to university)?

I went to Sapienza here in Rome, and I got my degree 📜 but it wasn’t easy because when I started I was a new mother.

Reflecting on 60+year old memories, it was difficult transition from a HS graduation class of 23 to a university freshman class of 5,000. Some college classes were bigger than my entire school student body.

Wow! That's huge! How big was your body back then? 🤔
@swirlie

My body? About 25% lighter than it is now, and probably more on the "runt" size than the Mr. America size. But it was a bit better than average in a couple of other categories.

Student body size at my first through twelve school was between 310 to 330. It was a small parochial school. It was a tight group where 80%+ of us went through the whole 12 years together. Like the 22 that graduated with me were mostly kids that had 12 years earlier been my first grade classmates. Like a big family.
