The Ultimate Experience of a First Time College Student

Roxana Jimenez says she is determined not to let anyone, who believes in her, down.

Los Angeles resident, Roxana Jimenez, says living in the dorms is a way to experience life on CSUN’s (Cal State University Northridge) campus.  She says it is easier for her to wake up and not have to worry about the two-hour bus ride from Los Angeles.

Jimenez lives with three other first time freshmen and says the biggest challenge is “getting used to habits.” 

 But she adds, glancing at her wall of inspiration, there’s a family aspect to dorm life.  “We all motivate each other to do well,” she says.

Students, like Jimenez, are busy throughout the week with studying and other social life, and Jimenez says, “You don’t have time to pick up after yourself.” So on Fridays, she says, she likes to “clean up before going home to L.A for the weekend.”
