My freshman year (long, long ago and far,far away) at Johns Hopkins was a great life learning experience for me. It was the first time I was away from home for any period of time and therefore making many of my own decisions. Thankfully, my school had a minority mentoring program which paired upperclassmen in the same major with freshman.
I don't feel that the faculty at the school really cared one way or another what the students did academically or otherwise. There were many student groups but they rarely had any fauculty advisors. Especially the Black groups because there was NO black faculty and hardly any black staff in decision-making decisions. I understand that things are a little more diverse now so the black students should be receiving a little more support.
All in all, I beleive freshman year to be the most stressful of all the time in college but also the most educational.
