Culture Shock

Coming to Ball State university was a huge culture shock for me. I came from a high school where I had 97 students in my graduating class. Then I moved to a college where I almost have that many people living on my floor in Clevenger. I was not used to having to walk far to class; seeing as how my school was really tiny. I was also not used to having 200 students in my class at one time, like I did in some of my lectures first semester. My classes back at my high school were more like 20 students at best. My high school back home was all white, we lived out in a relatively rural community is why I think that was, but then I come to Ball State, where there is a huge cultural diversity here. The college eating schedule was also a lot different than what I was used to at home. At high school, they tell you when to go to lunch, becuase they have special times for that, here at college it is up to you to find time. They also in high school tell you what you are going to eat, here at Ball State, they give you a wide selection of lunches.
