Things You Learn In College

[DanaC]

One of the things that surprised me when I went back into education, was just how committed most of the students are. I am so glad I never went at the 'right' time. I'd have drowned. I honestly don't know how the younglings cope sometimes. You can't move on our campus for people handing out leaflets and invites for this or that club night, this or that talk, this or that party. The pressure to be involved in extra curricula activities and clubs is enormous and the opportunity (and therefore pressure) to party hard is likewise huge.

For the undergrads who are experiencing their first time living away from home and in halls this pressure is huge. I do wonder how they manage to fit so much in. In some ways I think it's a lot easier as a mature student.
