With that new school year come the anxiety and concerns of students beginning their first year at college and the anxiety and concerns of their parents, sometimes even more so. Among the major concerns about starting college are funds, classes,sports, working and, certainly, residentiallife. Living in college housing involves more than just a place to study and sleep. “A residence hall is also a place to meet new friends and to learn how to get along with a variety of differentpeople,” says Valarie Finks, a junior from Stevensville, Mich. College sponsored activities are easy to find throughoutthe campus. “As a resident assistant,1 tried to plan activities like a beach outing, sports tournaments, dances, and a hayride to get the guys together,” says Nate Cassie, a senior from Milwaukee, Wis.

TEN NEWS FROM HOPE CO “Summer vacation” is full of lessons for Soviets

CJome of the most dramatic lessons the 19 Soviet students have learned thus far might not even make an impressionon the average U.S. native. That in no way diminishes the value. Indeed, the students are supposed to be using the summer to adapt to the nuances of U.S. culture — to enable them to start the academic year already acclimated to life at Hope College. And their insights are often instructive, providing a way of looking at aspects of life in the United States, or at least at Hope and in West Michigan, that tend to be taken for granted. Many of the students have been impressed with how friendly people are — and not all are reacting to them as guests. Natasha Terioskina, for example, has noted strangers greeting her warmly in passing on campus (leaving her to wonder whether or not she’s just seen someone she should recognize).

Terioskina, who is from Krasnodar,is also amazed at the local tendency to take walks in the evening. “People don’t do that at home,” she said. Andrei Podzolka of Moscow has also been struck by the area’s quietness. “Moscow is a hectic city where everything is ‘rush, to-and-fro,”’ he said. “Here there are no queues, During their learning, the students are teaching others as well.
