Manhattanville College

When it comes to college, there are so many different college experiences one can have. Living on a big campus is a different experience than living on a smaller campus which is different than living on a city campus which is different than living off campus. The point is no college experience is alike, which is really cool. So whether you are trying to decide what kind of campus to go to, you don't live on a small campus or you do live on a small campus and can totally relate, here are the top ten perks of living on a small campus.

1. You get more sleep.

Since EVERYTHING is at most 5 minutes away, you never have to worry about getting up too early.

2. You never miss the excitement.

Word travels fast and everyone gets involved so there is no need to worry about missing out!

3. Food is easy to find.

There are limited options but you know exactly where and when you can find what food and who delivers to campus at what hour of the

4. You know everyone.

Since classes are small and so is campus, you're guaranteed to know someone wherever you go!

5. Classes aren't far.

You can never relate when friends talk about walking 20 minutes or having to take some sort of shuttle to class. You practically roll out of bed and are there!

6. You live near all your friends.

With a campus so far chances are you live in the same b uilding as all of your friends. If not, they're only a two-minute walk away!

7. You're never alone.

You always have someone to walk with, eat with and just hang with!

8. Everything is a big deal.


Not much happens on campus, so when something does you bet it's a pretty big deal!

9.You know campus safety.

It's always nice to drive on campus and get greeted by a friendly face and know who's there to keep you safe!

10. There's always a friend nearby.


You love your small close knit campus and wouldn't trade it for the world!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
