Well, here I am at some big state university and I am so not liking it. I'm back for my second BA or grad school prep or whatever (haven't decided) at a school with 28,000 students. This is similar to the school I started out at, but very different from the 800-student body school I transferred to and graduated from. I heard some people say on the elevator that this big school was pretty friendly. Compared to what, the DMV? I suppose it's as friendly as a 28,000 student campus can be.
I was used to free parking for students, most of the students living on campus (though I didn't). I was used to going to the registrar's and, even in the first week of school, getting out of there in less than 10 minutes. I was used to there actually being space in classes! I was used to that small school where all the students in the same major knew each other, all of the professors knew every student in their department, and most of the professors on campus knew me! When I went to that school in the spring, an unusual time for students to come, people were puzzled and actually *noticed* that I was a new face. Students, staff, faculty actually cared and were close. Oh, sigh. *Grabbing walking stick* - I've been through so many changes. I feel old.
