Interview: Life on Campus

 I interviewed Melissa Hanson, a senior at Biola University, who's life away from home has been easy to adjust to.

In your daily life on this campus, how much does interaction with your family, contact from people from your home, affect your progress here?

Melissa talks to someone from home every day. Her family lives out of state but she said that the move, even when she was a freshman, was not difficult for her. She thought that just a simple phone call or a text message was enough to get her through the day. I asked her if it was difficult to manage relationships from home while living on campus and she said that it was not difficult but the most important relationships come to the surface and you realize who will stick around in your life. She is not living on campus any longer, although she used to dorm on campus, she is now living off campus with her friends who are also Biola students. It was easy for her to move into Biola and get used to the environment here. The community at Biola was welcoming enough that she did not feel far from home.
