Perspective V, One new face at UW-Eau Claire this year is that of Brian Zirbel. a freshman from Green Bay. He lives in Towers Hall and enjoys the dorms because he has more space here than he had at home. He is generally pleased with all the aspects of Eau Claire's campus life, he said, particularly the setting. Being an outdoors person. Brian likes the location in the surrounding woods. He was also surprised with the friendliness of the people here. As an accounting major, Brian has taken some difficult classes but he hasn't found it a problem to complete his homework. He finds himself with plenty of free time to play tennis, football, and do whatever he pleases. He believes that some of the classes are too large and overcrowded, although they are small enough to be personal. He said he seems to enjoy college life more and more everyday. For Sharon Golombowski from Adams, MN, going to an out-of-state school doubled her expectations. She expected to meet friendly freshmen and have a freer social life. In addition, Sharon expected more time on the weekends to relax, although she did anticipate a lot of daily assignments, long term papers and tests. After coming to summer orientation Sharon said she knew what to expect from cafeteria food. She said that she anticipated good food and service. Meeting people and building lasting friendships was another of Sharon's expectations. Probably the nicest surprise that Sharon encountered was that her dorm room ended up being a lot cozier than she ever expected. Many students enter college directly after high school; however there are some who choose to wait a year or two ... or five, as did Mary Jo Short. Originally from Neillsville, Mary Jo. a 23 year old freshman residing in Oak Ridge. She said she has come across problems of a different nature than those she believes the average freshman faces. For the past four years, she has been living alone and working at the Marshfield Clinic. She now finds it difficult adjusting to sharing just one room. The lood service's preparation of meals as well as other provided services are also hard for her to accept as she was used to doing all of her own household chores. Because of this, she finds herself with much more free time than she had imagined. Mary Jo believes she'll find plenty to do however, with the variety of dorm activities and the availability of sports programs. ||

Perspective UW-Eau Claire senior Donna Schuetz, a math and computer major from Monroe, believes if she had the chance to begin her four years of college once again, she would not have changed a thing. You learn through your mistakes. Donna said. When Donna was a freshman, her image of college was hard work, a lot of studying and meeting new and different people. One important aspect, she said, was discovering in her freshman year that studying is important, but people must grow socially, too, not only mentally during college. A lot of growing up is an interaction with the other people, Donna said. Kevin Stadler, a business administration and information systems major from St. Charles, MO., belieses college learning does not come completely from textbooks, but also from experiences. People must have a balance between studying and social activities, he commented. When Kevin reflected on the beginning of his freshman year, he said his expectations of college were totally different than what college was really like. He said that he had a completely different major and his expectations of college were more of what he was going to be doing after college than dunng college. Kevin lived on-campus for three and a half years and off-campus for one year. When you live on-campus you deal with people everyday, living off-campus you can be alone more often, he said. Tom Thelen, a nursing major from West Bend, thinks his four years have been a great experience. I got to know myself and have a better self image, he said. When Tom began school, his expectations of college were basically two ideas: a time to start over and a time to be more independent. Tom thinks studying is important, but added, people should not get so over-involved in academics; academics is only one-third of your education, the other two-thirds is learned from other activities. When Tom reflected on his freshman year, he thought he grew most, mentally, the first two weeks and the last semester of school. He said, The first two weeks I was pure lonely. I got to know myself and realized I was a neat person to spend time with.
