Coming to Jacksonville State University? Not sure what to expect? Well, here are 5 things you should definitely expect when coming to JSU. Enjoy!

1. No Parking

Now don't take this too literal. Yes, we have parking but it's not the best. If you live on campus the parking is worse because the majority of parking is for commuters. Just a fair warning UPD will give you a ticket... trust me I got 3 this year!

2. "You may cross Pelham street."

A phrase that will forever be stuck in your head.

3. Long line at Chic-fil-la in the TMB

There may not always be a long line, but when there is, you wait - it's worth it.

4. A good football team to cheer for

A team that has pride, class, and a great fan base. And not to mention, we like to win!

5. The greatness of The Marching Southerners

Last but not least, the Marching Southerners! The greatest marching band in the south. You hear them play and everyone enjoys it. The are like another team to cheer on and be proud of. Blow Southerners!

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
