Classmate Profile: Candace Coleman


Freshman year has the potential to be a challenging year as college students experience their first time away from home. With the challenges, there is the potential to grow and learn about one's self. Candace Coleman, a sophomore at Ole Miss used her freshman year to build.
"[School] taught me that I can't be best friends with everyone," Coleman said, but we can at least be cordial.

An only child living in a shared environment can be a tough adjustment but the leap can often help you grow. Although Coleman didn't meet many people in the Lucky Day Residential College (LRC), she made friends in other dorms where she began to make connections.

"My new friends Helped me focus on the important things," said Coleman. "They create gateways to meet new people in other departments throughout the school."

Although the leap from an only child to sharing a space with others can be a difficult adjustment, Coleman made the change and has networked well with others throughout the university.
