You had the best of times, you had the worst of times. You had, well, some times here at Rowan University. Some better than others, but hey, you made it through. Every college has some weak points, but Rowan can definitely take the cake on some. Even though you wanted to scream and yell at everyone at least once in your Rowan career, you learned to love its quirks and weirdness. But there are definitely some things you aren't going to miss.
1. The race to register for classes.
You always woke up 15-20 minutes early to get on self-service to race your way into that one class on the first day of registration. Just to find out that registration actually opened 30 minutes early and the class is already full.
2. The Samurai waitresses.
Whether it’s sushi or hibachi, you found yourself a frequent goer of Samurai. Though the food was way better than Tomo, you still questioned why you put yourself through “What drink?” before you even sat down at the table...every…single...time.
3. The cafe food.
I mean, c'mon. It's cafe food.
4. PARKING.
I shouldn’t even have to explain this one. It was terrible, we all knew it, it will never get better.
5. The rec center.
No matter what time you went, 6 a.m., 12 p.m., 4:15 p.m. It was forever packed.
6. Landmark.
This is a hard one because you grew to love the beer soaked wonderland that is Landmark. But you’re also so excited that you won’t be spending every single weekend there from here on out and venturing to new bars.
7. Wi-Fi.
Nobody else in the world knows the Wi-Fi struggle that is Rowan Wi-Fi. I mean, I guess it's not their fault, there are thousands of students who use it every day, but the second you step on campus it's a race to connect to whatever Wi-Fi you can get on that day. Plus, if your Clearpass messes up, you're totally screwed.
8. The death circle.
Sometimes you prayed you'd get hit, just so your tuition would be paid for. Other than that, you feared the walk through the circle because the people coming down 322 don't understand how to yield as you're casually walking to 7/11 for your hangover Gatorade.9. Construction.
No matter what time of the year it was, Rowan was always doing construction. You didn't really hate it because they were building things, but you were mad because all these cool things are going to be there when you're gone. But you also hated it, because you always hit traffic.
10. The colors.
Ugh, who thought of these? Even Rowan dislikes Rowan colors. They don't match with anything.
No matter what, you'll always love good ol' Rowan. People wonder how you stuck out the four (or more) years at this strange little school, but you know all its awesome perks and secrets. Though there are some things you can't wait to escape, you'll always have a soft spot for Rowan.
