I felt very comfortable with meeting all of my professors, they were all very kind and welcoming. ]]> 2022-02-18 21:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brianseay1/Bookmarks/wish/2055930001 https://padlet.com/brianseay1/Bookmarks/wish/2055931438 There really wasn’t anything going on when I first got here. There were no events or games happening. It was just like going to high school. I went to class and work and that was it. So I wish there had been more exciting activities. ]]> 2022-02-18 21:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/brianseay1/Bookmarks/wish/2055931438 https://padlet.com/brianseay1/Bookmarks/wish/2055934210 The work program was the worst experience of my life. I was thrown into snack bar with no experience or training whatsoever. It was so hot back there that I felt sick and people were rude and unhelpful and I wasn’t taught anything. ]]> 2022-02-18 21:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/brianseay1/Bookmarks/wish/2055934210 https://padlet.com/brianseay1/Bookmarks/wish/2055940409 Better training for the work program and better communication on what’s happening on campus and how everything here works.
