You propably shouldn't write in Ada, as it has almost nothing to offer
you.  The benefit is exclusively ours: we may be able to read what you
have written, if you've done it in Ada.  And so may your project-partners.

Ada is not an OOD-language; I'm positive that C++ is better for that
field of programming.  Ada is at its best in large projects, and you
don't see many of those as hand-in exercises in the universities.  But
entering a univeristy, you should be prepared to study for life, not
just for the exam.
