Campus blog:
I’m Jeremy Fisher and this is my blog! I’m an undergraduate at Valley State
University. I have been a student here for only two months, but I already love it! I’m
majoring in Public History, and I live on campus. My flatmate and I have a really small
room, but it’s nice. I like living on campus because I am close to everything I need. I’m
only a five minute walk from the library. The campus is really cool and there’s lots of
things to do here. We have a new Internet café, and there are a few nice parks on
campus, too. We even have a gym for students who live on campus, and they’re free!
I haven’t gone there yet, but I want to. There’s also a small supermarket here, and
they stay open really late. It’s great when you need something fast! Plus, just a couple
of minutes down the road, there is a huge shopping centre. There’s a lot of great
shops, and I have already bought a lot of things there. It’s so close, you can even
walk there! I’m thinking about getting a job on campus. Maybe I can work in the
History Department.That way I can get to know my professors better!

1. Jeremy lives on campus with two flatmates.

2. The campus has one park.

3. The supermarket closes early every day.

4. There is a shopping centre near the campus.
