Beloit College, another small liberal-arts college somewhere in the U.S., released its annual 'Mindset' of the incoming freshmen class today. With all the changes happening around campus, I got to thinking as an old alumna, what is the mindset of Hillsdale's incoming freshman class?
Here goes:
1. The kitchen in Olds has never been a disgusting cesspit.
2. They've never stormed the field when Hillsdale beat GVSU.
3. Hillsdale's sport's complex has always looked like a DI campus's gym.
4. Tons of people have to take the remedial math class.
5. They will never sing drinking songs at the Donnybrook.
6. Complaining about Saga will never be something they bond over.
7. Security has always been run by someone with the last name "Whorley."
8. They'll never understand the phrase 'Weedfeldt.'
9. The downstairs of Broad Street has always been a super cool place for upperclassmen to hang out.
10. The Honors Program could never be run without Dr. Gamble.
11. Neidfeldt has always been a men's dorm.
12. The website has always had pictures of current students on it.
13. Simpson has always been the nicest male dorm.
14. There's always been Mediterranean food at that one gas station.
15. DTD is just another old house on Greek Row that's been there forever.
16. The Old Student Union has always been nice enough that it's not just populated by smokers.
17. The Kirby Center has always existed.
18."Health and Wellness" has always been a required class.
19. They didn't live through the 'Icepocalypse' of 2010... so they will never have a snow day.
20. Honors Students have always had to give defenses.
21. They'll never hear the term 'weighing in' for the tug-of-war during the sororities's Greek Week.
22. They have no idea who Dr. Reist is.
23. The Hillsdale 'Forum' has always been competing with the 'Collegian.'
24. There has always been a women's tennis team.
25. Dr. Arnn has always been and will always be the President of Hillsdale College.
This is so great. You are so great.
