I like MaMa Buddha also attended Bethune-Cookman college (at least my freshman year)
I was very disappointed when I arrived on campus. I wanted to turn around and go back home.
The only thing that kept me there was the fact that I felt bad becuase my dad had taken off of work to drive me to Daytona Beach from Detroit and he wasn't even using sick days so he didn't get paid for missing work. I felt that I owed it to him to give it half a chance. I just had to adjust to a different environment then I was used to. I attended a boarding school from the 8th-12th grade..and expected things to be the same.. boy was I wrong.. the food was terrible.. I didn't even have a room when I got on campus and I had to move in with the R.A. on my floor until a room opened. Everytime it rained our floor would flood. When I went outside to walkt to class I would literally kill something in the area of 50 frogs
because they just covered the sidewalk and you had no choice but to step on them. My advisor wouldn't help me pick my classes..I still remember his DR. CLAYTON
I couldn't stand that man...The resources weren't worth two cents...I could go on and on and on.. HOWEVER, no matter how bad things were the one thing that I will always admire the professors that I had during my freshman year. They mad sure that I was on track and as a result I got a 3.3 my first semester at school and I'm sad to report that wasn't even my best effort..just imagine what I would have received had I put my all into it. I loved the spirit of the school...My circle of friends that I was with EVERYDAY consisted of 10 people 5 male 5 female.. we ate together. studied together..exercised together.. snuck off the yard together... walked all the way down that looong street to the movies together.. The girl on my floor were so close they called us the "First Floor Mafia"
We all got busted sneaking out the last week of school and we cried together in Dean Page's office because she told us that if she was going to put his write up on our records and we could never join Delta (we all wanted to join) My times at B-CC were the best in my ife and the friends are the best friends that I have ever had. I am still in touch with my friends from B-CC. Even after I trasfered to Michigan State they still stayed in touch with me and I with them. I felt like I had a family when I was at Bethune Cookman and for that reason I will always love that school. So overall my freshmen year sucked because the school was lacking in a lot of areas but it made up for it with the love...
