Jordan Hines, freshman exercise and sports science major
“They’re kind of intimidating, with all the reading and work that’s already been distributed in the first few days. But there’s not a whole lot of bad. It was a good surprise. My sociology teacher actually told us that anxiety and pressure is good and that it shows you how to react under those different circumstances and grow from that.”
Ashle Georges, senior biology major
“My classes are all very interesting. I have one anatomy class where the professor does everything on computers. Our exams are on the computers, our quizzes are on the computers and half of the lab work is on the computers. It’s very different…and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. The professor called it active learning.”
Jaafar Abou-Ghaida, freshman biology major
“For now it’s going pretty smooth. Right now I haven’t gotten much into the subjects yet, but I’m looking forward to the labs for chemistry and biology and seeing how hard they are. I’m looking forward to sitting in the library and working on lab reports. And my other classes: they’re chill, they’re good.”
Sasha Charles, sophomore speech pathology major
“I like my classes so far. I’m taking sign language, communication disorders through film and media and human heredity. I’ve had really good professors so far but it’s still pretty early in the school year, so there’s still time to change my opinion.”
Jessie Grevin, senior marine biology and biology major
“I love that all the professors and all the students are fresh and excited. I’ve already spoken with numerous professors. They’re all just excited to meet you and want to help you throughout the next semester and give you all the resources there are at NSU, which is awesome because they’re there to build your career. But on the flip side it can get really stressful. Most seniors have an easier year and I’m going to have a more difficult one because of my double major.”
Kayla Lagan, freshman medical stenography major
“I really like my teachers. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to understand them or they would be too hard and not reasonable with their grading, just because of what I’ve heard from other schools. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised. They’re all understanding and good about being fair with grading and extra credit, which is really nice.”
