The transition from being high school seniors to college freshmen is special. There is nostalgia for the homes, friends, and communities we're moving away from, but there is also an excitement for college and all things new it promises: new friends, new faces, a whole new way of life. For our class we'll look at writings and films whose
characters, like you, are making the transition. Through a bunch of group activities in class and outside ( in your dorm, the dining halls etc.), we explore the role that the strong communities here at UMass can play in making this transition memorable.
