In my day, not all black male students played a sport. Now almost all of my students (of all ethnicities) play sports or are on a team that awards scholarships (which are really just discounts)

Young, socially not ready although academically very prepared. At my institution - many of the students are academically unprepared in addition to being socially not quite ready for the transition to college

My first friends consisted of people I met at mid-summer orientation. The next group of friends I  met were people who lived on my floor. In essence, we bonded through hanging out, drinking beer, and having fun. Of course, we all had school in common, but the first year was exploring who I was. I discovered at the end of the first semester that I was not necessarily being authentic. I changed friends in my second semester and found life to be much healthier (running, being on a schedule, and having more wholesome friends).

I was from a hardworking family and myself had to work while in university. I found myself initially gravitating to those like myself. After becoming more comfortable to my new environment I was able to expand my friend group to include others not like myself - racially, economically, etc.

We were largely from working class backgrounds... sometimes ready for the academic experience and often thinking beyond the campus. Because we were a regional and heavily commuter school, most students maintained strong social ties outside the campus.

Our parents were very hands off -- my parents took me to college, dropped me off and went home. I talked to them once a week, but just for general updates. My sense is this was similar for others. It was way before internet and other ways of being in constant communication.

We lived on the same floor, were mostly all black and had similar interests and backgrounds. I don't see much difference in today's college students.

My friends were all from "Phys Ed," like me

My friends were mostly first gen to university, like me

Conclusion ... my friends were ... like me

Students came to my university from across the UK; it was a predominantly white institution; University was free to attend

Students stressed financially

Today, I see student athletes going three ways, (1) they want to prove to faculty they belong (2) they come to play and academics take a back seat (3)

We were academically well-prepared yet still sometimes overwhelmed by the academic demands of college. We felt a lot of pressure, had little disposable income, and were often a little freaked out. Yet fear and excitement are two sides of the same coin. Our experiences could also thrill us. I work with students who are stressed for different reasons--lack of preparation, family demands, balancing work and school. Most live in comfortable homes, however--not the crappy dorm rooms we knew, where we longed for "real" food.
