Fall classes have officially begun and with them come cooler weather, the ability to pumpkin-spice everything, and our annual newest additions to campus: freshmen. Whether they’re getting lost or doing something painfully embarrassing, it’s hard to escape the first year of college without having one of those “freshman moments.” The confusion and mistakes are an integral part of the freshman experience, so it is best for us all to just embrace them. Therefore, we ambushed students around campus and asked them to share with us the best “freshman moment” they’ve experienced so far.

What’s the most embarrassing freshman moment you’ve witnessed or experienced?

“Probably the most confused were a group of girls trying to find Curry Student Center on a map and they were in Curry Student Center.”

-Karen Kelter, fourth year, nursing major

“It was definitely someone who got on the T to go to class… and they got off at MFA thinking they were going to Symphony or something. Yeah, they got on at Northeastern, ended up at the MFA, freaked out [because they] thought they were going to Symphony, and it’s all walking distance.”

-Tim Judge, graduate student, homeland security

“First time I walked into my dorm bathroom … I looked to the left and saw urinals and I just turned around! I was like, “What’s going on?!’ and then I realized that sometimes it’s a men’s floor.”

-Caroline Stark, first year, engineering major
