College Visit Reflective Essay !
We went on a field trip to U.C. Berkeley on February 17. I thought the field trip was exciting getting to learn more about the college. I really didn’t have U.C. Berkeley on my list of what college to go to, but after the visit, I had second thoughts. There was a couple things i expected to see and learn about. And I was definitely surprised about a lot of things. Going on this trip made me learn some things about the students, classes, the dorms, and how it’s like on campus.
What I expected more on this trip was actually go in some of the buildings and learn about it. I also thought they would have shown us how the dorms are, so that some of us know if this is the college we would want to go to. I definitely thought the tour guide could have explained the cost and financial aid a little more, because he/she really didn’t talk about it, or go into full details. I’m sure some of us would like to know the cost of it. I really didn’t expect to see that many people on campus. I expected to go inside maybe some classes to see how the classes are. But other than that those were the main things I expected on this trip.
What definitely surprised me on this tip was that there was a lot of libraries on campus. And about 10 million books total on campus. That’s a good thing because there are so many different books you can search for and it would be a big help if you had to do a research. I was also surprised how everyone is so lively there. Everyone seemed like they were having a lot of fun. The campus is also really huge! There was a lot of people. I was also surprised that most of the students look really young. There was many things that surprised me on this trip.
Overall, going to U.C. Berkeley was exciting. I got to learn a lot of things about college. And it really made me have second thoughts about that college. Although, I still could have expected see more and learn more. But going on this trip helped a lot. There were things definitely surprised me. I got to learn a lot from the tour. And I got to see how it’s like there. This trip was really helpful to me.
