Philip like many Colonel Gray graduates lives at home — something many students feel is a disad— vantage but as he was quick to point out it is completely false. If you live at home you don't ‘ have to deal with resid- ence costs or the food cost Or transportation problems and besides that you can‘ have as much of a social life at university as you

Want. If you get involved - you don't miss a thing

- if you go to class and go straight home then you miss out. Of course the number one reason for com— ing to university is to

Like many students who look back on their early years at University Philip, believes that the biggest change from highschool was in the amount of freedom he had and the responsib- ility that was placed on his shoulders to do his work and to go to class. It took some adjusting to begin to use the time to :do all the things he wanted instead of wasting it. In all, he is glad that he chose to come to UPEI instead of going West as he had originally planned.

Last year's valedictor— ian is now a disc jockey with UPEI'S CZMN radio, and he has a good time doing his Thursday night show.

Doug compares the stud— ent lounge in Robertson Library to the "radiators at Colonel Gray" as a good place to talk with friends ‘but thinks there should be more social events on campus. .

Doug advises*next fall's freshmen to get help in setting up a study schedule and to "get involved and have a good time.‘
