I am from a town of 8000, a county of 20000 and a graduating class of 132 people. Although I was excited for a change, 22000 students was very daunting for me. Living in, or close to, an urban setting has been a big change for me. Even the small things that most people would not think of like, that I actually have to lock my room and my bike. Believe it or not, where I am from most residents do not even lock their houses. Or even as I sit in the library writing this, is it okay to leave my computer for five minutes as I use the restroom? Although these probably all seem like silly things to most people who have lived in this type of setting all their lives, it is all very new for me.
In addition to be in a new city, I am in the process of making friends. This is something that many other students can relate to during their first week of their freshman year. I am part of the Health Professions Living Learning Community, which has been so helpful for meeting new people, having others to do new activities with, and getting to know the area. When I applied for my living learning community, I was not entirely certain of what it was, I just knew that I wanted to live in that residence hall. But now that I am one week into college, I am so happy that I looked into the different living options and choose to be apart of this group.
As Jo mentioned in her blog post, she was having trouble getting used to the schedule. I would have to agree with her because, I too like to have a set schedule that is uniform for each day. I will have to get used to having a different schedule for each day. It is very nice to have the breaks in between my classes now, but I will have to put these into my daily schedule. Even with all of these changes, I am still content with my choice of Boise State. The campus and city feels right for me.
