The University is a place of freedom but comes with a lot of responsibilities and expectations. In as much as you value the amount of freedom you’ve got, you realize you have more responsibilities and must budget your time and money. You are expected to arrange your opinions logically and not just give facts. You are expected to motivate yourself and be responsible for knowing procedures, regulations and graduation requirements. You are required to think critically to solve problems and take initiative to make new friends and to resolve conflicts with people. You are exposed to different values, cultures, interests and religion and must learn to be tolerant and respectful of diversity. You will also be exposed to new ideas and expected to critique these ideas in a thoughtful way. You are also expected to get involved in the community, campus clubs, volunteer work and internships related to your major.
