<p>Hi</p>
<p>I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I thought this would be a good place to share a typical day in your school. Maybe its just me but the atmosphere and location of a college is pretty important. I'm sure other people will find this info useful in making thier college decisions.</p>
<p>Post your College/university name at top, then just describe a typical day in your college + activities/atmosphere</p>

<p>The evenings are different everyday. You either go out or stay in. Otherwise, it's going to class, coming back from class, going to another class, coming back, getting lunch, going to another class, coming back, etc. There's a lot of timing involved with college. After class it's up to you. Either call friends, go to some meeting, or stay in.</p>
