WHILE YOU READ
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 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 degrees Celsius out, and went to
bed at 10 every night. When she 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 a 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.
