My first semester at The Ohio State University has been an eventful one. I have met many new people both within the Biological Sciences Scholars Program and outside of it and I have developed close ties with these people. I have learned a lot both inside and outside of the classroom. This includes learning a lot about how I learn best and how to harness this knowledge in order to better prepare for my classes. I have also learned how to live independently using the resources available to me at this university. All in all I would say that my first semester at The Ohio State University has been a success.
