First Impressions
When I first arrived at K, I think it was the summer of freshman year in High School. Of course, coming from abroad, the journey was long, and I was tired. But when I arrived on campus, my initial impression was it was a very “clean” campus. Both in the sense that it was well maintained and that there was a low drug use on campus. I got these impressions, first, from the 3 golf carts I saw roaming campus, picking up the recycling. Second, there were really no marks, or signs of vandalism anywhere; and it had been my experience that people who use drugs have tendencies to vandalize school buildings. But ther . . .
Then, since I had to meet with the admissions people first, I found the people at K to be very friendly. So I guess it would be fair to say that another one of my first impressions was that K College was like home; I felt comfortable at K like I did at home. Other impressions similar to what we discussed in class, tastes, smells, etc were present at the time, but I cannot recall them now. Other small things, like the class sizes, and the courses that were offered also attracted my attention, but didn’t really add to my first impressions of K. (Of course now I would expect the people in admissions to be friendlier than the rest of campus since “prospies” like myself would meet them first. Those factors were what I really expected to see in a college. So from the beginning I was hooked on coming to K because my tour guide looked like a famous actress. I was currently living in an international atmosphere. There was something else that didn’t attract my attention but would attract other people’s attention: the international aspect of K. Initially, I thought K was a very strict college, mainly because everyone seemed to be rushing to class. ) I had a tour of campus, and I really didn’t pay much attention to it because the tour guide I had looked like Selma Hayek, and I love Selma Hayek.
