Adjusting to Life at Purdue

Coming to my completely new home at Purdue, I have had to make quite a few changes to my lifestyle that have been quite interesting to get used. Many students may have trouble adjusting to their new life, because of all the differences they are experiencing in this new place, but as in every situation there is the bad and the good side. The dining court food has been no problem to adjust to though. The food is quite delicious and I enjoy quite a bit. I have many friends at other colleges who have had to resort to Ramen quite soon after their arrival on campus, but not me there is such a wide variety of food. With all that food eaten comes another adjustment, a large amount of walking. I normally do not have to walk nearly as far as I do know, but I do not mind it all. The campus is so beautiful and I am so excited to see all the leaves change color in the fall. I love riding my bike through campus also. I cannot imagine living on any other campus. I have only been here a few weeks but I absolutely love it here. It is also so different to not have class for a full day. You have breaks to do whatever you want, you can go wherever you want, and eat whatever you want whenever you want with whoever you would like. Freedom is excessively abundant now that I am in college. There is only one major thing that will take some getting used to and that is not having my own bathroom to get ready in everyday.

  1. OMG!! Margot!! we feel the same way about it, but I've had to adjust myself to several things, but I enjoy changing my lifestyle. The Dining courts have incredible food, and I'm looking forward to see the leaves change color this fall. I also think that it feels weird not to have class all day long... and yeah... freedom is a particular issue in here.
