Being
from Ohio myself, I was a little tense when I first came down to Clinton, South
Carolina to come to PCSP. I had some
family down here, but I really didn’t know more than 5 people in the entire
state before I got in my car and made the 8 hour trek down here. I had gone a few hours away from home for
undergrad, but being out of state was definitely a step up from being a short
drive away.
Honestly,
the first few people I met down here became some of the best friends I’ve
had. Arriving for orientation, I walked
through the door and started joking around with a few guys in the line waiting
to get my name tag. It didn’t take long
to realize that just about everyone down here is in a similar situation, and
that quite a few people I met were from a lot of places that didn’t end with
Carolina. Whether from the area or not,
everyone I talked to was extremely easy to get along with, which being from an
undergraduate university in a major city, I really wasn’t all that used to that
happening. Even this far from home, it
was easy to find a place in this school and community.
There
was an extreme difference from Clinton and both the town I grew up in as well
as the city I went to school in before PCSP.
Coming from a bigger city school to a smaller town was a bit of a shock,
but with the people I met, as well as the School itself, it really made the
transition easier. I have had many
experiences here that I could not have had in other settings, and PCSP has
given me many chances to be successful in the pharmacy field. Coming down to Clinton has definitely been a
good choice for my education, and between you and me, the winters down here are
hard to beat.
