What was the biggest thing that anchored your faith?

What’s one thing you didn’t expect to see at school that is more widespread than mom and dan probably think?

How do you make friends in college?

What should every student avoid?

Should you live on or off campus?

God said he would be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path.  Pray and ask for guidance.
