Freshman Kate Boggs and Junko Muakami find campus life rewarding. Whatever the situation, entering a new environment can be very stressful and frightening. New students like Glenn Gross have found college life to be an improvement over high school. Gross originally planned to enter the Marine Corps however, when it didn t work out, he decided to attend WVSC to further his education.
Students also face transition because they have transferred from another university.
Carrie Brown, one such transfer student, finds WVSC to be a huge improvement over her previous school. Hillary Wilcox not only finds the campus larger than her high school but also better. Many feel that if they can just get through the first year, they will become familiar with college life and will succeed at college. WVSC also boasts foreign students. Junko Murakami, a recent arrival from Japan, finds the campus very different from her native country.
