On the weekend I went out with my new friends, walking around campus. It was , thinking how I was at college, meeting people who could become good friends of mine. The most exciting thing was that I didn’t have to explain to my parents where I was going , who with, or what time I’d be home. On Saturday night, I followed my roommate to a party. The people at the party were busy playing some game, and no one seemed to notice my existence. I suddenly felt so lonely. Fighting back tears, I ran Back to my room, thinking I would never feel at home at college.

The first year at college was probably the best and most challenging year of my life. Academically, I it thoroughly . Taking part in the advanced Engineering project gave me a to use my creativity and knowledge to help society. Socially, I made lots of new friends both through engineering and living at St John’s College on campus. The social calendar of the colleges provides plenty of opportunities to meet non- engineering students as well as other engineers, many of whom have become my best mates.
