Reflection of the First Semester: Freshman
-Jared Feffer
(Defiance, OH) The first semester has slowly come to an end at Defiance College. The academic year has been a busy one with many new classes and events being brought to campus.
Many students were asked what they liked about the semester, what their favorite event(s) were on, and if there was anything they disliked or thought could be improved on campus.
Jeremy Koerber really likes the library and how the teachers are available to help you with any assignment questions he may have. Koerber also enjoys how all the freshmen get along with one another. His favorite class was Life and Society.
However, his least favorite classes were World Issues and Foundations of Academic Inquiry. A few events that Koerber enjoyed on campus were Humans vs. Zombies and the different Intramural Sports.
Anthony Ewing also disliked Academic Inquiry and World Issues, but said he enjoyed his Leadership/Life Learning and Intro to Business classes. Ewing also dislikes the required study tables but enjoys the resources available in the library. Ewing added he prefers the Hive food over the cafeteria food. His favorite event on campus was intramural basketball.
Savante Perry enjoyed the Hive and football along with the brotherhood that developed within the team. Perry’s favorite event was the foam party that occurred during welcome week, however, he disliked his Writing Workshop class.
Juniors Amber Moomey and Beth Pienoski felt the semester was tough because of some of the challenging class they took, but enjoyed the company of their friends who helped them through the semester.
Zach Bires felt the semester was a lot easier than he expected because the professors helped to make the transition to college easy.

Rebekkah Slob enjoyed going to the football and basketball games and meeting new people. Her favorite event was welcome week.
