i think it\u2019s so sad when people say they never ventured far off campus for all of freshman year. if you\u2019re in a new place, there\u2019s so much to see and there\u2019s never been a better opportunity to see it. take advantage while you can because college is only four years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
i think there\u2019s something important about knowing, understanding and being conscious of the place you live. don\u2019t separate yourself from your surroundings. you\u2019re not just there to do homework and go to parties. you\u2019re there for new experiences and to open yourself up to the rest of the world, as well as to learn.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
living in a new place means that you now have so many opportunities to see so many new things that you would never have gotten to see, especially if your college is far away from home. don\u2019t less these opportunities go to waste.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
by leaving campus often, you get more of a taste of what it\u2019s like to live in the real world because you won\u2019t have the sheltered college mindset that your campus is the whole world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
getting off campus can be as simple as trying out a new restaurant every week. if you split entrees with friends, it can end up being pretty cheap. try out doing typical touristy stuff, which is often free because you can do things like going to a famous, public park or exploring a cool neighborhood. even if you just go a few blocks off campus and see what the surrounding area is like, it\u2019s better than nothing.<\/p>\n
