Campus Visit Notes for Stetson University:
Visit Description:
When I was on my overnight stay for soccer, I stayed with the craziest girls on the team it seemed like. They loved eachother, but they were constantly fighting because they have that sarcastic sense of humor. I went to Macroeconomics with one of them and the teacher was CRAZY! I think it was because she was about to retire from being so old.
Later that day we went to their friends dorm and sent like 2 hours on you tube watching extremely funny videos. They treated me as if I was already on the team. After that they took me out to dinner at a place called Tony's Pizza. It was awesome! I recommend eating there!
After I ate with all of them they informed me that we have to wake up at 5 i the morning because they have practice at 7am! They forced me to stay in the library with them from about 9 pm to 11 pm because they had to do their homework. When we got back to the dorm room they realized i didn't have a place to sleep, so one of the girls called her boyfriend to bring a blow up matress. He broguht it, we pumped it up, and tried going to sleep. It was impossible! I didn't go to bed till 2, and when I woke up at 5 I was on the ground because the matress had a hole in it!
