    I really enjoy my life here at Shepherd. I started out in marching band my first semester and it definitely helped for me to be in an extracurricular activity right off the bat because it really helped me to meet a lot of my friends. I also met a lot of people through my art classes which are all relatively small because of how small the university is. All of the buildings are pretty close to everything which makes it easy to walk around campus, but there is also a bus system that goes through out campus. There are a variety of places on campus to eat. As a freshmen you get a meal plan which works at the dinning hall which is similar to a buffet, and the student center which is like a cafe, and the brand new gym which has a healthy eating cafe. There are so many amenities on campus and all or most are free to students. read full review
