College is what you make of it.” |

“I love Purdue Univeristy Calumet. It’s close to my home. The class sizes are small. Plus, I like that its small enough to see the same people in the hallways every once and a while but big enough not to see the same people every day.” Raquel is a Junior majoring in Organizational Communications and also works with New Student Orientations. She suggests a person is “never to busy to make a few new friends,” and you can do this by “joining an organization“. Disney movies such as, Cars, Happy Feet, and The Incredibles engage this 22 year old. “I like these movies because they are fun and not so serious. They make me laugh and feel like I don’t have a care in the world.” Watching movies and taking time to “just do what I want” helps Raquel relieve stress. |

“Networking is the best way to meet new people,” says this General Sociology major who also assists incoming PUC students as a New Student Orientation Leader. “Purdue Calumet is a very diverse school and I like that a lot,” she says.There are two things that Robin does to manage her stress: reading her bible and writing in her journal. Her favorite movie is a movie where all of the members “have a high confidence level,” “flashy clothes,” and are very “sophisticated.” Can you guess the movie? It’s Oceans 11! |

Enjoying his fourth year at Purdue University Calumet, Brandon is seeking a degree in Psychology. He likes the class sizes at Purdue and also is a Student Leader during New Student Orientations. “Don’t look at school as a means to a degree. See it as a privilege, and take pride in what you learn,” he says to encourage other students. During stressful times during the semester Brandon enjoys to give himself time to do things he enjoys like watching movies. “My favorite movies are Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny because of the memories I have while watching it.“ |
