My experience of college life...

When I received the acceptance letter I felt like “I can’t believe it!” So I came here with only one purpose; study and get a degree. The first week here was cool, but I felt a little lost, I knew where was every building, but I didn’t knew were or who I had to contact to get the answers that I needed. Later on I met my professional adviser, Vilma Lopez. She was very helpful making my first week very pleasant. In every class of “UNIV” we learn how to get the best of Mayaguez without getting your grades down and have a successful career. I think she has taught us the real meaning of fun-study which is very important to the success here.
In the little time I have here, I’ve met a lot of cool people, which make me be more comfortable. The first week some students gave me “prepa” throwing me eggs, water balloons and even a lettuce! I gave a laugh about it. Also, I met all of me professors and it’s like everything, I like some of them, but there are some that I didn’t like at all. Some of them give a lot of class work and homework, others tell you to read hundreds of pages, but there are some that are more flexible with the students. Thursday I went to a church, it was very good, I really enjoyed it! I’m thinking to go to that church every Thursday, unless I have to study or get some exams. When I went back to Bayamon, all of my friends were waiting for me in home and started asking me how were my stay in Mayaguez. Some of my friends are thinking of study in Mayaguez when they graduate of High School. Seriously, “No me puedo quejar”, my experience here is very good.
