Sophmore Year Is Over.

May 28, 2008 · Filed Under College Life 101

It’s another year gone by down the road. I recently finished my second year at R.I.T. and a great one it was. I took some great classes that not only applied to my major but also applied to my knowledge in general about society and life. One of my favorites was International Relations where I learned so much about how the international “government” roles work and how the United Nations is viewed and works. Because of this class I later on took a class called War And The State talking about the “Art of War” and the different meanings and views people take upon war.

As far as classes applied to my major, my favorite was Software Engineering. It was one of the classes that I was leased expecting to like but it was opposite of what I expected. The whole class went through the process of working in a team developing, from start to finish, a whole project. During the process we mostly learned about designing and working on your design to make your software flexible for any new features or changes that need to be added. It gave me a good view of how a project in the “real world” would work out.

Living off campus was a whole new experience that I do not regret. I saved lots of money and live a lot more comfortable. The fact that I could leave campus and forget about school for hours or days, kept me more relaxed. I am planning to live off campus next year too but at a different place. Housing on campus is still bad and expensive. It is an option but not my first by choice. I am actually pretty excite to see what next year will bring.

Two years already,
Yasser
