Section B Hi, I’m New Here College is a new and different experience for me. Im away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, e.g. being on my own, talking with friendly people. These are some of the things I like about college. First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents arent around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight.” or “Did you finish your homework?” Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own 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. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a current or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions! Friendly people, that’s another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount 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, “Are you a new student?” When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said: “Oh, just follow us; 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: New York is a very good place, too! adjust sense responsible account confused suppose guard adjust to first of all a sense of responsibility be respon
