This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Suffolk chapter.

1. When you wait hours for the elevators in Sawyer.

2. When they cancel class at any sign there might be snow.

3. When your everyday perfume is the smoke outside of Sawyer.

4. When you get glares from the Beacon Hill residents as you are walking to class.

5. When you live in any of these 4 prime locations: Beacon Hill, The North End, Allston or Mission Hill.

6. When you spend half of your college career abroad.

7. When you crave a Chinese chicken and rice bowl from Donahue, and after wonder why you got it.

8. When you have to ask your roommates to go down to security to sign more friends in.

9. When you know everyone’s dirt just by reading @suffolkproblem.

10. When you try to get a salad from 73 and the line is out the door and around the corner.

11. When the internet/blackboard is ALWAYS down.

12. When you find yourself sweating/freezing in any given classroom. There is no in between.

13. When you can never find a place to study in the Mildred Sawyer Library or if you do, there are students talking loudly on the quiet floor.

14. When you don’t like your roommate(s) and you can’t switch…sucks for you. 

15. When people ask you how your law degree is coming.

16. When most girls are more dressed up for an 8 AM class than you are on a Friday night.

17. When you overhear a conversation about how much someone’s Fendi bag costs.

18. When you walk through a colonial tour trying to get to class.

19. When you skip classes because you don’t want to walk up the hills in the cold.

20. When it takes more than one word to describe where Suffolk’s “campus” is located.

This city provides her with many opportunities from having a marketing internship at the Franklin Park Zoo to taking long walks on the Charles river and exploring the city. She also had the opportunity to study abroad in Madrid in the summer of 2013 at the other Suffolk University location. My dream job is to either travel while writing about the different experiences I have or have a job at Discovery Communications in the PR department.
