My freshmen year was okay. I commuted because the school was only 20 minutes away. In a way, I wished I had used the housing scholarship I was awarded. I feel that there were many activities, organizations, and people I missed out on by not staying on campus. Even though I though I didn't party during the week, my grades were not the best that they could've/should've been. I really didn't have the guidance I needed, so I ended up wasting two years on my first major. There are definitely some things that I would do over freshman year, if I had the chance.
