Culture of education

I am attending BSU, oh yes where the BS comes before U. In my foray into non state run schools I became accounted to the idea of no multiple choice tests, and if you had a question you just called your teacher at home. I become a processor, analyzer and over all questioner. I saw the world in interconnecting fractals. But now, everything is separate, -no connection. I am trying to resist the urge to write vast amounts essays, and walk about the dorm asking for help. Now I live with my photographer room mate, I feel disconnected.
I was also to the idea of calmingly work. My classes are at the right level, and they are difficult -only for the sheer amount of busy work that is included. At BSU its hard to develop friendships because everyone is autonomous. You only have the 2-3 hour class in common. But I am trying! Plus I have one small class of only 20 people, which is nice. I will adapt, it will just take awhile.
