A Challenging but Rewarding Start
As a freshman from Bangladesh studying Biology at Sewanee, my experience so far has been exciting and eye-opening. The classes are small, which makes it easy to connect with professors and ask questions, and I’ve really appreciated the hands-on lab sessions—they make complex topics feel more understandable. Campus life is vibrant, and I’ve enjoyed joining student clubs and meeting people from all over the world. Adjusting to a new culture and academic pace was challenging at first, especially balancing coursework and adapting to discussion-heavy classes, but the support from professors and peers has made it manageable. Overall, I feel like I’m growing academically and personally, and I’m optimistic about the rest of my time here.
