I have always imagined college the way movies portray them to be with the fraternities and “nerds” and different groups of people very distinguished from one another. What surprised me the most is how well people get along and how fast and easy it is to create a very strong bond with each other. I…
Nothing specifically has surprised me from my college experience so far. The atmosphere is just how I expected it to be. Everybody actually cares about their education. I love going to the library to study, as well as participate in study groups. I found myself going to all of my math teacher’s office hours just…
