[Maria nods, then blinks a little bit with a slow cant of her head. How...much? She doesn't exactly have a base to go off of that she can recall, so what Yuki says doesn't quite make sense to her.]

I...suppose the classwork can get a little cumbersome, and difficult, but...I'd think it'd be far more enjoyable to be surrounded by people and get to make connections that way. Though, perhaps I don't see it the same way because I've not yet experienced the cons, only hear about and imagine the positives.

[Maria doesn't expect to be bullied (lol, who would dare), but it is a possibility.]
