Time For a Change

My topic that i am going to write about is going to be about why there should more on campus activities and why they are important. I chose this topic to talk about because it has an effect on me and i think it should be changed. I am an out of state student and I don't really talk to my Tennessee family that stays here so the only time i get to go home to my family in Saint Louis is on breaks. I do not have a car so the parties that they do have or social events they have usually are not on campus so i would not have a way there. On campus activities are not just for enjoyment purposes or entertainment but it can be a learning experience. At orientation I was told that living on campus would be a great experience because i would get a chance to meet new people and become friends. My first year living on campus I did not make any new friends in my dorms. The only time I made friends was when it was mandatory because i had to do a group project. Every weekend there are a large number of people going home because there isn't anything else to do on campus. By having more on campus activities i think that other problems in the community could be solved. It may not effect everyone one but it could help some change people and grow mentally. It can also help students for future jobs or careers by making them feel comfortable with other people of different races.
