life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could

open

an

account.

University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My

mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was

very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our

car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass

doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked,

new student?

that's

where

we're

going.

Even

now

I

feel

comfortable

in

the

dorm

because

there

are

friendly

people around to talk with.

I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home.

Although

I

like

college,

I

can

still

get

homesick.

is

a

very

good

place,

too!

sometimes I miss it!
