    The first semester of college for incoming freshmen can be very difficult. You have to have a very open mind and be willing to adjust to every situation. You have to realize that you don't have people telling you what to do anymore and that your education is in your hands. I think Lander has a beautiful campus and has a great community of people to be influenced by. I have met many new people who I know will be my friends for the rest of my life. I have also joined a sorority and love all the new people I have met there. read full review
