home, so I have many things to adjust to. Being on my own, making

new friends, and having Fridays off --- these are some things I like

about college.

 Living at college, first of all, gives me a sense of responsibility

of being on my own. Parents aren't around to say, "No, you’re not

going out tonight", "Did you finish your homework?" or "Go to bed

early." Everything I do has to be my decision, and that gives me the

responsibility of handling my own life.

 Friendly people: On my first day (and even now) people were nice to

me. I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York and

I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in,

not knowing the building we were supposed to go to, and the guard was

especially nice: with a smile, he told us what building we were looking

for and where we could park our car.

 Finally, I love having Fridays off — I wouldn't be able to cope with

several days of classes in a row. Also, I love to sleep in. I do like things

about college — being on my own, talking with friendly people, having

Fridays off, but this doesn't mean I don't think about things at home.

Although I like college, I can still get homesick: New York is a pretty

good place, too.
