Coming back to campus after a long summer can be difficult. The Signal asked students what was the biggest obstacle students encountered their first week of the semester. Here is what some students had to say.
“Adapting back to in person classes after COVID.”
Jason Richardson, History
“Getting organized. Setting up the structure for the semester.”
Bailey Steward, Biology
“[I] graduated in December 2019 with Associates and then Covid hit. Was supposed to go to Texas State but found the SGS program here and came here instead. [I haven’t] been to school since graduating two years ago. Getting started again has been a challenge.”

“Finding classes and getting the hang of everything.”
Zanae Zavala, Graphic Design,

“The workload. Last semester I only had one class to finish Associates degree and started on bachelors this semester. Back to a full time student, readjusting to that lifestyle.”

Maria Rodriguez, Art and Design
“Making sure I have everything for classes and time management.”
