  • The Rhythm of College Life
    The Rhythm of College Life For many students, going to college is filled with ambiguity and doubt. It may be their first time away from home for an extended period. There is powerful tension between their desire for more freedom and autonomy and their need for reassurance and support. Parents, too, have mixed emotions when their children leave home. They often feel a sense of loss accompanied by a sense of freedom. The house seems so quiet. At the same time, the house seems too quiet! Separation Anxiety People are more comfortable with the familiar. Your son or daughter has probably spent several years with the same friends from the same high school. The teachers are familiar, the school campus is familiar, and the town is familiar. College means finding a whole new set of friends, adapting to professors who do not treat them the way their high school teachers did, and navigating a campus where everything is not located in one building. Beginning a new adventure on campus at Tiffin University generates both excitement and anxiety. For students who adapt quickly, any apprehension is quickly overcome. For others, the transition may take a little longer and include some struggle with homesickness. Some students begin to feel anxious several weeks before they even leave home. Others seem OK at first only to find themselves feeling homesick later, perhaps after returning from Christmas break. Most often, though, the first few days or weeks are the most difficult. At TU, we help students feel accepted and secure by creating an environment in which they can function well and meet challenges successfully.

  • Association for the Study of Literature and Environment Ninth Biennial
    Association for the Study of Literature and Environment Ninth Biennial Conference Welcome to Bloomington! On behalf of Indiana University, I am pleased to welcome you to the Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment 2011 Conference. This important event brings together artists, teachers, writers, and scholars from around the world who share a deep interest in the environment, its meanings, representations, and interpretations in language and culture. It is a special pleasure for Indiana University to host this conference on our Bloomington campus because of our longstanding commitment to issues concerning the environment. That commitment dates back at least to our legendary 11th President Herman B Wells, who fiercely protected the beautiful green spaces on campus. This tradition contin- ues in the university’s careful stewardship of our campus’s natural resources and our firm commitment to the outstanding scholarship that will help us understand and appreciate our changing environment. Michael McRobbie President, Indiana University Thanks Many thanks to our hosts at Indiana University, especially: Michael A.

Linguistics and Culture Review, 5(S1), 174-190. https://doi.org/10.37028/lingcure.v5nS1.1325 Probing the Dominant Lived-Experiences of Married College Students Valuing the Resiliency Theory Beverly Gay N. Cambri Isabela State University, Cabagan Campus, Philippines Abstract---Life for married college students can indeed be very tedious and challenging. But with perseverance, good support system, and proper motivation these students will be able to cope well with the issues they face at present. This study elucidates the dominant lived- experiences of married college students valuing the resiliency theory. Qualitative study was employed, back up with triangulation to substantiate the theory used in the study. The study is deemed to denude the lived-experiences of married students while they are studying in a private or public universities in Region 02. To assess resiliency, the tool Cannor- Davidson Resilience Scale was also made use to measure the strength of these students while taking a risk in their lives. In this study, it revealed that married students are even stronger while they are facing tribulations in their respective lives. They even gamble their future but still optimistic enough to face whatever future may give them. Married students were able to exhibit compassion and empathy, resourceful and flexible and they show concern to everyone. One great thing that had been uncovered was that married students were problem solvers and critical thinkers. Private and public schools may give importance to these married students for they may be an assets of their respective universities.
