Speaks Out

What kinds of memories do you have about the first week you were on campus?

"Everything ran pretty smoothly because I moved in early. So I went out and had tons of fun at the water polo and football games while everyone else was getting lost on campus."

Brad Schaefer

Second-year

Economics

"Other than being completely lost, I remember trying to get to Dodd Hall, but ending up at the Anderson school. I warn all freshmen not to listen to people when they tell you where to go, and always carry a campus map."

Ryan Pierce

Third-year

Chinese & political science

"Everything went pretty well because I found all my classes the weekend before school started. It really helps from getting lost on the first day and looking like a moron."

Anthropology

"On the first day of class, I saw the professor¹s husband sitting in the back row as if he was one of the students, and he turned out to be actor John Lithgow."

Damon Soulakis
