First day at ARCC

I would imagine that a majority of student's first day was much more eventful than mine. I'm a CNET student, so a vast majority of my classes take place in the Training and Development building (the building across from McDonald's). The classroom was, and is, filled with computers, and I've always been comfortable around them, so even as nervous as I was, it could have been much worse. I sat there, took the syllabus, and each first day of class has been the same since.

I started in the spring semester not realizing when the application was due for the fall semester, so everyone around me was already acclimated to the school. I've been attending ARCC for a little over two years now and haven't taken a class before 3pm, so I've never really seen the campus alive.

My experience today with ARCC is great. I've never had any major issues, and only two that hardly count, but both seem to be working against night students.

First, until this semester, the cafeteria closed at around 3 p.m., and any students who wanted supper at the school were out of luck. Thankfully, the cafeteria is now open until 6:30 p.m., not ideal but better than nothing.

Second, I never knew of any events going on around the school. I'm not sure if there is some sort of announcement system for earlier classes, but I didn't even know our school did plays until a friend mentioned it. There should be a system in place to give night students information about these things. If there is one right now, I don't know about it.
