My First Day at Anoka Ramsey Community College

The first time I walked through the halls at Anoka Ramsey Community College I felt very overwhelmed. I had no idea where anything was and had to ask everyone I saw for help. I felt people may have thought I was stupid or something because I threw so many questions at them. Not only was I lost, but I ended up being five minutes late to my class. I couldn’t seem to find it right away. When I finally found it, I was nervous to go in. I had been out of school for a year and wasn’t looking forward to diving back into it. When I got into the classroom, my nerves settled down and everything went smoothly. I made new acquaintances and loved the atmosphere. I am super glad I signed up for classes at Anoka Ramsey Community College!

    I did the exact same thing you did when I started at Inver Hills. One thing that made it much easier is I do a walk through before classes start. Meaning, I print my schedule and actually go to campus to locate my classroom!!!!

    I know what you mean about asking people so many questions. I had to do that when I did online schooling for the first time. It really helps to go to the orientation provided by the campus to get familiar with the campus.

    I had the same experience at Bethel only I never really settled in or felt like I fit in which is why I chose to go to ARCC.

    I agree, I felt really stupid asking so many questions, so I actually didn't. It makes it a lot harder when you're not intentional. Way to go!

    I was a lot like you on my first day too. Even though I went to the orientation, and was able to see a tour of the building I didn't actually know where my classes were. I had to go around asking people questions too. I'm glad I finally know my way around now!
