"... I was nervous about transferring to college as a junior, I wondered if I would have the same college experience as my peers. I had so many questions: Would it be hard to make friends? Should I live on or off campus? Would it be weird to live in a dorm as a junior? My biggest fear was not being able to live the full “college experience”.
I decided to live in the dorms and I couldn't be happier with my decision. It's been a great way to experience college life by eating in the dining hall and meeting people."
