My Experience A Month In=> Athletics, Scholarship Pressure, Social Changes

<p>The people can be defined in three groups:
A. Canadians(Hockey nuts)
B. Europeans, Crew Kids, New Englanders
C. Sports Recruits</p>

<p>I’m actually into all three of the groups because all three of those types play football. I lived in Jersey for a little which is kind of like New England…</p>

<p>The people are very open and friendly. As you go on, your peer group really narrows down to 10-15 people. Mine is opening up randomly… Like now I’m hanging out with more lacrosse players since we’ve been playing a bit. </p>

<p>The one thing that is weird… To be known you have to be memorable. Like everyone knows our best football player, basketball, soccer and the smartest kid/best musician… I stand out for Lacrosse and that has really become me. I’m expected to lax every sunday and to go on fall ball trips… Which is fine. I guess I’m feeling pressure to fit into my niche?</p>

<p>Food is pretty basic… We have one of the best chocolate shops in the tri state area though… People from NYC have houses at Kent just to buy from the shop and to fish/enjoy the valley… IT IS LIKE A PAINTING. The natural beauty is so awesome.</p>
