By entering the packed parking lot, I got the feeling that I was entering a big institution. The time was 7:30 a.m., and cars were already lined up waiting to park. Luckily, I was able to find a space to park my car. I entered the campus and asked people to help me find my classes. I walked down the main walkway and was amazed at the size of the campus. Grass and trees surrounded it. People were studying sprawled on the grass with their books. I felt like I had entered a park, not a college. I walked into a big hall with video games, tables and chairs. People were eating, playing video games, and doing their homework. I soon discovered that it was the cafeteria. I felt quite insignificant; the campus proved to be shockingly enormous. Finally, I approached a student and showed him my classroom number in the schedule book. He told me to follow him because he was enrolled in the same class. He led me to the classroom; I found a seat and sat down. The nature of the classrooms at Pierce College came as another shock to me.
