Being that this is my last year, I am a bit nostalgic about my freshman year...but yeah, there were QUITE a few culture shocks!
I agree with the drug part. Not so much weed and other street stuff, but designer drugs. I would NEVER touch 'em.
The people who have truly been sheltered. It was a culture shock to me that THEY were so culture shocked, lol. I went through very mixed public schooling, so this diversity was not new to me.
What? No bells?
What? We can have cell phones?
What? We don't need hall passes?
What? We can wear whatever we want?
Yes, all of these floored me my first year.
Lastly, the parking. My my, the traffic, park-stalking...how it reminded me of my hometown of Atlanta. It was a shock that I had to leave and hour early just to ensure that I got to class on time. I lived about 10 minutes away from my hs, so I typically would roll out of bed, roll down the street, and roll into class, lol.
