Person 1
1. **How often do you go home?** Only on breaks. 2. **How many times do you call your parents**? I call my mom 3 to 4 times a day. 3. **How far away do you live**? two and a half hours. 4. **Does being here affect any relationships at home? (Parents, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend)** No being here at college drove me apart from my high school friends. I feel closer to my parents now that I am out of their house on my own. 5. **Do you believe it’s hard to be away from your parents for the first time?** No because I’ve traveled to Italy, Bahamas, and I live at the shore by myself so that made me independent before I came to college. 6. **Have you found yourself making friends like the ones that you have at home or are they different from you?** I have found friends that are more similar to me then my friends were at home. 7. **How did you study at home in high school compared to now at college?** I didn’t study in high school and now I study for each class. 8. **Do you feel it is different waking up for high school then it is waking up for one or two classes**? Explain. Yes it is different because in high school I was in school from 8 to 3:30 and now I only have one or two classes for one or two hours. 9. **Did the people you turned to in high school to help you with homework and projects change when you came to college?** No I still go to my mom when I need help with things. 10. **Do you believe that being away from home affects your education? Explain**. Yes I believe it affects my education because I am more focused on school more than worrying about getting home.

**Person 2**
1. **How often do you go home?** I try to go home once a month. 2. **How often do you call your parents?** None, they call me twice a day. 3. **How far away do you live?** An hour and a half. 4. **Does being here affect any relationships at home? (Parents, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend**) Yes, I don’t feel as close to my family as I do when I home. At home I feel like there is always someone to talk to and here I don’t feel like I have enough close friends to be able to do that. Having a twin sister, it is hard to live by yourself and not be around her as much as in years past. 5. **Do you believe it’s hard to be away from your parents for the first time? Why?** Yea, you are completely on your own and you don’t have your parents there to guide you anymore. 6. **Have you found yourself making friends like the ones that you have at home or are they different from you?** The friends I have at home are a lot like me but I think the ones that I made here are a lot different than me. The friends at home grew up with me so we were always around the same activities and had common interest.

7. **How did you study at home in high school compared to now at college?** I didn’t have to study in high school and now in college I realize the subject matter is a lot more intense and that studying is definitely required. 8. **Do you feel it is different waking up for high school then it is waking up for one or two classes? Explain**. Getting up for high school was easier because there wasn’t as much pressure on you but here there is so much information jammed into one class that if you miss it, you’re going to miss so much. There is a lot more added pressure to get yourself up here than relying on family members at home to help you get up. For high school there was a variety of things to get ready for in the morning, like lunch, gym, sports at the end of the day, and maybe work after wards. For college there is less things to worry about when you wake up, it’s one class then you can worry about other things after wards. 9. **Did the people you turned to in high school to help you with homework and projects change when you came to college?** I usually went to my family for help but now I rely more on my friends for help. 10. **Do you believe that being away from home affects your education? Explain**. Yes, I have to be more self motivated at college and there is no one else to blame but me if I don’t do well. In high school most everyone, including me, had their parents to blame if they were to do badly on a test or project. It’s harder to get kicked out of high school then college so there is more pressure on yourself.

After talking to these two people I realized that everyone comes to college and has a different experience. Some people cant wait to get away from home and others are still very attached to what they left at home. These two people are different from me even with how often they call their parents. Everyone is different, these two talk to their parents more then I do but if it makes them comfortable then there is nothing wrong with it. We do things differently and people are going to get through their years here differently.
