Going back to college after a long summer break is a beautiful thing. You get to see your friends again, you have something to do all day, and you're away from home.

The best things about going back to college are different at every campus, and especially at North Greenville University.

Here are some things that all NGU students can relate to when heading back to campus:

1. Seeing your friends.

It's strange to say bye to your roommate and then drive two hours in opposite directions for summer. Now, we are all back in the same place.

2. Awaiting what the back-to-school surprises may be.

Hopefully snocones, cause who doesn't love The Nomadik Few?

3. BSU concerts and bonus chapel

Always the best services of the year. AND you get chapel credit for bonus.

4. Football games.

All college football games are fun, but at NGU, it feels like you're at home. No long lines or strangers, and our student section is pretty great.

5. Chapel is back and always better than ever.

Chapel is something everyone typically dreads, but once they get there they love it and worship together.

6. The happy, Christian environment.

No matter if you're going to the caf or to a different dorm, you will see a smiling face and have a door or two held open for you. That's how things are done at NGU.

7. Seeing old professors who always take the time to talk to you.

Most NGU professors are actually interested in you and want to hear about your summer and your life. It's a wonderful feeling to know that math class you flunked last semester wasn't in vain.

8. The beautiful mountains around campus.

This goes without explanation. The mountains are absolutely breathtaking, especially in the fall.

9. Einsteins. Everything at Einstein's.

Chocolate chip bagels with Nutella. Can I get an amen?

10. Downtown Greenville trips.

DTG is so close that everyone goes there at some point during their first week. It's always good to be back.

11. #WeAreNGU

Move-in day: the only good reason you'll probably have this semester to use the NGU hashtag.
