*Sarah
*On the first weekend I went out with my new friends, walking around campus. It was exciting, thinking how I was at college, meeting people who could become good friend 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.
*Ellen
*My roommate left the window open all the time, even when it was 10 degree Celsius out, and went to bed at 10 every night. When she got sick after mid-terms, she blamed my tying and having a light on while she was trying to sleep. *At first, college was a little daunting. I graduated from a small school. After seeing the same people over and over for many years, it was amazing, but a little scary, to be in a place where it seem like I never saw the same person twice.
*Brenden
*The first year at college was probably the best and most challenging year of my life. Academically, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Taking part in the Advanced Engineering project gave me a chance to use my creativity and knowledge to help society. *Socially, I made lots of new friends both through engineering and living at St John College on campus. The social calendar of the colleges provide plenty of opportunity to meet non-engineering students as well as other engineers, many of whom have become my best mates.
