The Freshman Chronicles: Navigating the Campus Maze 

Freshman year is an exhilarating time filled with beginnings, lifelong friendships, and academic challenges. However, it's also a time when students face the struggle of finding their way around campus. Some of the common experiences that freshmen often share: 

  • The Overwhelm of Orientation: Orientation week is a whirlwind of activities and tours. While designed to help newcomers acclimate, it can feel overwhelming. 
  • The Dread of the First Class: Freshmen meticulously plan their routes to avoid being late for their first class, causing even short walks to feel like marathons. 
  • The "Lost Pup" Look: Many freshmen wear an expression of curiosity and slight confusion as they navigate campus, occasionally asking for directions. 
  • Unintentional Explorations: Freshmen often stumble upon hidden gems while trying to find their way, such as cozy courtyards and charming cafes not on the official campus map.
