what's your 1st uni/college experience was like? Options

[InitialDJay]

mine is okay... i attend classes that i think i think might be a challenging to pass and not attend regularly with classes that i think easy to pass.

also the lay back, freedom style is definitely enjoyable.

however, the workload is definitely a lot more than hs work.

so far, so good. 3.40 gpa for my 1st year. not excellent, not bad.

what about you?

It's been AMAZING. I just finished my first year. Looking back to a year ago, i was not looking forward to college. I went to a small high school where I knew everyone and I loved it. I was nervous about going to a kinda big university (about 20,000) I thought I was just gonna be lost and not know anybody, but it's really different. The more I got involved on campus, the smaller it felt. So that's one thing that suprised me, some other things are:

Classes. I always pictured college classes as huge, where the professor doesn't know your name, and you dont talk to anybody, you just sit there. But it's exactly the opposite. My professors were cool as hell and they knew my name. And I would go into class every day and talk to the people in there. I made some really good friends in my classes.

Greek life. Yeah, i joined a fraternity (mainly because of my brother) But it turned out to be the best decision i've made so far in college. Yeah, there's a lot of crazy parties & crazy drunken nights, but it's so much more than that. I've made some amazing friends, and not just in my fraternity, but in other fraternities & sororities. The Greek community at my school is really close knit. And it's gotten me involved in other activities at my school.

And I did really well my first year as far as academics go.
First semester: 3.6 GPA
Second semester: 3.5
