Large universities changing freshman experience The freshman experience at large state universities can still resemble a failed social experiment more than the start of a four-year journey to enlightenment. Overwhelmed freshmen in many places still sit anonymously in large lecture halls, surrounded by hundreds of peers whose names the professor couldn't possibly remember. Dorm life isn't much better, with total-stranger roommates sharing little other than a desire to survive those first rocky semesters. Alan Scher Zagier, The Associated Press, Oct. 5, 2009
