Questions about college

I go to college about 1 1/2 hours away from home.

When I go home for the weekend, I take whatever clothes I want, whatever work I need, toiletries, my wallet and my laptop. Simple. I never worry about anything being stolen…I lock my door! Oh, and regarding going home: I disagree with Smithie. You can go home every weekend and still have a great college experience and still be involved. I wouldn’t suggest it, but I definitely think that once or twice a semester is hardly anything, especially when you live so close. Last semester I think I went home about 5 times and it was perfect.

My laptop comes with me to some of my classes, and to the library. When I don’t need it, it stays in my room. I got a 14" one that weighs less than 5.5lbs, so carrying it around isn’t a problem because it’s not too big or heavy.

I love college! I have a lot of fun, but that’s because I’ve gotten really involved on campus and have made lots of awesome friends. College is way better than high school ever was.

Yeah…privacy can be an issue. I live in a double like most people on campus, and it does suck sometimes because you can’t always be alone when you want to be…but you deal and you find places to retreat to and such.
