Hi again!
I sent you a response a moment ago, but regarding the metro...you wont need the metro to go to the University, it's just one stop and it leaves you 10 minutes away from the University on foor.
Just walk from your apartment, it's a pleasant..eeer depending on the weather... 15 minutes walk.
I think you would actually spend more time using the metro than on foot!
