Cultural Note
Italian students are known for their activism. University occupations ('occupazioni') and protests are a long-standing tradition. The feminine form is 'studentessa.' Many Italian students are 'fuoricorso' — taking longer than the prescribed years to complete their degree, which is socially accepted.
