I believe that I have a strong connection with the university. I have come to see this place as a second home to me. I do believe I belong here and that I fit in nicely and have many friends. I do believe that I have integrated myself into the social aspects of the campus as well. I feel that regardless I would have been involved in this campus in some shape or form but I was able to join a fraternity and this has helped me greatly. I have made a lot of friends due to this and have plenty of people to help me as my college career continues. I do not live on campus but I do live within walking distance and I live close enough to be able to walk there and experience campus life during the day as well. I live in the village and I do believe that even here there is a sense of community. I could pretty much call upon any neighbor to help me out in case something breaks or any other problems. I have made plenty of social connections in my two years at the campus. Being a part of a fraternity really helped me out socially but I also have been able to make connections with people not in my fraternity as well. I live with three people who are each part of a different social aspect in the university. One roommate is a part of my fraternity, one is a part of another fraternity, and one isnt part of a fraternity at all and I believe that all this social diversity really helps me keep a vast amount of friends on campus. I am very satisfied with the connections I have made on campus and wouldn't change a thing. I really don't know if I am connecting with the actual campus as much as I am with my friends. I probably could get more involved in the campus as it has given me so much already and I haven’t really given back to it at all. I don't really try to connect my in class experiences with my out of class experiences. I believe that its not good for me to mix work with pleasure. I do apply some of the things I learn but I also have learned that I don't get nearly enough done. I have thought about taking a class that interests me. It would be interesting to take a class that has to do with something that would affect my life and pick my interest. The only thing that is stopping me is the fact that it means I would have to spend more time on campus than I would like to. I get sick of it during my regular schedule. I do think that this is something I should get over because it is something that could potentially help me in the future. I really don't know what class I would take though. I would have to look at the class catalogue I guess and look for something that suits me correctly. I am not against taking an outside class at all but I just got to take the initiative and look for them and put myself out there.
