What are some of the challenges Nathan faces thus far as a college first year student?
· Students notice she is much older than them.
· She is mistaken as a mother of a student, when she is in fact a student herself.
· She has to learn to make some lifestyle changes: studying and staying up late, sleeping in, cafeteria food, adjusting to classes and homework and, learning the “language” to fit in.
Why are male and female college experiences so different?
· Males and females are exposed to different situations.
· Guys generally are interested the more “manly” careers such as welding, mechanics, or engineering versus women who go to school for cosmetology, nursing, or certain fields of art.
· Girls are, by choice, sheltered a little more than guys. For example, a guy riding a skateboard down a steep hill while drunk would find it funny, while a girl would see that idea as just plain stupid.
What do you think the author plans to observe as an undercover freshman?
· Student roll of looking up at the teacher versus the teacher looking out at the class.
· College trends, parties, language, studying habits.
· Dorm life in general.
What rude awakenings could Nathan encounter in the future?
· Learning that kids often cheat on tests, quizzes, and homework assignment.
· Keeping friends.
· Deciding what information is worth writing down for her research.
