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. Sarah
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. Ellen
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. Brenden
