The lab is out of the way, so upon arrival, I got a glimpse of campus I’ve never seen before. My first impression was that the lab seemed a bit intimidating, and as our “tour guides” confirmed, on the older side of things. Walking uphill, I expected that it would be more flashy, given the university, but as my group was later told, the department is very frugal with the limited amount of funding they receive. So I thought it was interesting that even this university “struggles” with funding at least to some extent. My other expectation was that the building would be less underground, and so that was a bit distracting and nerve-racking. However, nervousness aside, I thought it was interesting that we, and students at this university, had access at all. Given that I’m a year out of high school, realizing that in four years I, like GRF David, could have official access to this lab, felt a bit like a culture shock. I don’t necessarily think I will end up working in this building specifically, but the fact that the option is available, was a bit of a wake-up call. In other words, it was stressful. So my last impression is that I, as an undeclared major, still have plenty to consider in my next three years, and that’s still intimidating to me.
