xe v v V fc Life at Shaw University is a unique experience, in many instances an experience that students will treasure for a lifetime. But then, college life is like that — ao experience. At Shaw we learn, work, and play together and we experience success, sometimes failures, sometimes sorrow, happiness and frustration, but we all work together for common goals. Yet, adjusting to college life can be, at first, midly upsetting. Attempting to grow and maturate we find small comfort, initially, away from home. There are no more home-cooked meals, the warm glow from a comfortable fireplace, mom to tell you no or yes and dad to ask about the car. Campus life can be nerve-wracking at times: classes to meet, tests to pass, institutional meals, timetables, and etc., etc., etc. We adjust, however, because we have to make decisions, decisions that will affect our lives, and we grow up fast. We make many friends also and they become a part of our lives, and we work, play, study and grow towards the future, exploring the meaning of life.
