My time in student housing was fantastic. I built many friendships and connections in my first year. I encountered numerous new experiences, and the sense of independence from home was incredible. It was my first taste of adulthood, with the freedom to make my own choices – and having high school friends at the university might have influenced my perspective. Throughout my journey, I gained valuable knowledge, met interesting individuals, and had some unforgettable moments. I completed my degree and am now on the lookout for a job. Hopefully, my story can be helpful to others!
