Staying Connected (SC): Any advice for parents and/or incoming freshmen?

JR: Having to deal with people who don’t accept my ideals or values. Getting called a “nun”.

SC: Is your current workload with classes more or less than you thought it would be?

SC: What do your weekends usually consist of doing?

SC: What do you miss most about high school and/or living at home?
JR: Absolutely nothing. Not at all.

SC: Do you have an on campus job? If so, where/how many hours a week?
