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 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 room mate 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.

My room mate left the window open all the time, even when it was

got sick after midterms, she blamed my typing 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 place where it seemed 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’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.
