Funck+Interview+Questions

= Interview #1 = 1.Coming back sophomore year what was the one thing that was different, if there was anything different? Coming back sophomore year something that was different was living in an on campus apartment instead of living in the dorms. Also in that apartment now I'm living with two new people that I didn't live with before. Living in an apartment also means that now we have to shop for new things such as cleaning supplies, dinner foods, furniture, etc.

2.Do you hang out with the same people that you did freshman year? Yes, I pretty much hang out with the same people just now I have more friends.

3.What was one thing that freshman year taught you the most? Since I was a transfer student I realized during my first semester at my first school that you should never take things for granted. Things that were once there for you before may not be there always. Also in general at both schools freshman year just taught me how to adapt to college life and quit frankly I'm still learning.

4.Why did you come back to Bloomsburg University for a second year? I came back here for the same reason i stated above, basically you just have to be happy for what you have. Where I was before wasn't for me, Bloomsburg has everything that I was looking for during my college career. Plus it's beautiful up here!

5.Do you live in the same place that you did last year? Has that affected the relationships with your friends? I live in a different place, and no it really hasn't affected any of my relationships with friends. We still all hang out and I live with some of them so I would say that everything is the same.

6.Were you more stressed freshman year or sophomore year? Please explain why you chose the year that you chose. I honestly couldn't choose one. Freshman year was stressful because of being at a school that I didn't like and then even once I transferred it was still stressful trying to adapt to the new environment yet again. On top of that of course school and playing rugby was a handful. I think that sophomore year is also stressful because now I have six classes, rugby, and a job so I'm constantly doing something and it's a little stressful trying to make time to get everything done.

7.What was your biggest fear coming back to Bloomsburg for sophomore year? I think the only thing i was worried about was just the different classes I was going to be in. Obviously we don't have the same classes and every professor and class is different. Also I was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle everything on my plate.

8.What are the better ways you have learned how to study from freshman year? I learned that some subjects are easier to study with flash cards but then other your really just have to look over your notes and try to explain things in your own words so when you come to the test you really understand.

= Findings: = After these interviews I noticed that it is stressful for sophomores to come back to school too. As a freshman I thought I would come back to school and everything would be the same, but it is actually really different. The person in the second interview stated that it is hard to see her friends this year since they live in different places. I also found that everyone has different worries coming back to school.
