Advice from those who have been there…done that!

"Go to class. Some professors don't take roll, so you will be tempted to sleep that extra hour. This is a nono. You never know what you might miss. I had a biology teacher who compared prions to zombies. He never mentioned it in any notes, but it was on the final. Countless questions like that came up, and those of us who went to every class got those extra points. Going to class pays." (Emma Gardner)

"Dorm showers are super fun. Try to get a neat little carrying case for your soaps and such... it just makes life easier. Bath robes are also a fantastic idea because a robe can make it far less awkward if a fire alarm goes off while you are bathing." (Emma Gardner)

"Cafeteria food isn't the best. Come to church, they feed you."

"Go to class. Showing up for class is at least 75% of getting decent grades." (Adam Strider)

"At orientation, they'll tell you about the whole "points" thing on your student ID. Do it, its a lot easier than carrying a [bunch] of quarters around to do laundry. Plus, if you run out of points, you just have to go downstairs to the machine and put more on. Quarters are not so convenient." (Adam Strider)

To the recent High School Graduate:During your first semester at college make a list of three or four people who have had the greatest impact on your life. What where they like? How did they impact you? How did you feel in their presence? What was different about them? How did they get to be so cool? Now consider what it would take to be like them. Take small steps this semester to imitate your heros as you interact with others on campus.Karlin Bilcher

Take whatever experiences your college formation throws your way and make the most of those experiences. Live those four to five to six years or however many years your at college and live them to the fullest. Enjoy your courses, but also have a blast on the social scene. And, last but not least, don't forget about your relationship with God. No matter what, God is with you and always will be. I'm sure that the Episcopal priests and campus ministers on campus would love to talk with you and get to know who you are as a child of God. One more thing, when doing your laundry, don't mix your whites with dark colors! God's Grace,Eric L. Miller+

…And if you don’t understand ask questions during class and if you still don’t get it go and talk to your professor during office hours – Emily Rengers

Make at least one friend in each class for questions, homework, note sharing…

We are open-minded people who like to meet with other open-minded people to talk about God and life. There’s plenty of good food, friends, laughter, singing, talking, and of course, God! All are welcome. Come join us!

“You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should." ~from Desidirata (Canterbury office mural by Erin Felton)
