This was a typical day in the life of a HUF student. "I woke up at 8:00 this morning and put on my robe. I was reluctant at first to go to the kitchen looking like that, but for some reason this place felt like home. After breakfast, I took a shower and got ready for my first class that met at 9:45. Chapel met at 11:00. Chapel was kind of fun because we were all together . After Chapel I had one more class that met from 11:30 to 1:00. I always looked forward to 1:00 because that meant lunch. Lunch was always our biggest meal of the day. We would have some kind of pasta, either spaghetti, HUF students took Europe by storm while gaining an education fettuccini, or noodles. As we walked into the kitchen, the tables were already set. We would stand in line to get our pasta. Vegetables, some kind of meat in sauce, fruit, bread, and two bottles of water would be on the tables waiting for us. After finishing lunch we would take our dishes to the housekeepers to be washed. Then, we were on our way to town. There was so much to do and so much to cover. We went through museums, browsed through the markets, and saw the sights. We would head back to the villa about 4:30 to get back in time for dinner which was at 6:00. Dinner was light compared to lunch. We would have tuna fish with bread or crackers and fruit. We rarely had dessert unless it was someone's birthday, then they would bake a cake. After dinner we would play ping pong, go outside and sit in front of the villa, or play the piano. Tea time was at 9:00 every night. We would have hot tea and cookies. After tea, everyone would start winding down to go to sleep. As I went to sleep each night, I wished every student would have a chance to experience Italy as I have through Harding's program. " -Caroline Pillay CHESS.
