Intiouuction:
When beginning this assignment, I was natuially uiawn to focusing only on
the uownsiues to uieek life at College 0niveisities. Bowevei, being a pait of uieek
life, I know theie aie pluses, iight. Theie hau to be a ieason that I founu it
woithwhile foi my time. Aftei looking at scholaily aiticles, youtube viueos, anu past
ieseaicheis feeuback, it seemeu that the negative affects of uieek life aie moie
pieuominately publicizeu than the positive ones.
Ny plan, is to navigate you thiough the negative but focus on the positive of
uieek life anu what it encompasses. It isn't going to be easy, because like I saiu it is
easiei to finu moie negative connotations about uieek life. Ny Naiiative Reseaich
Essay will be uiviueu into the following paits in oiuei to hopefully uebunk those
connotations anu sheu light on the positives that get uniecognizeu by oui society
touay.
The fiist section will be about !"#$%&' )*+ #"',$+&), this will give me a
chance to shaie what scholais have wiitten about uieek life, anu if it has been
positive oi negative, anu why. The seconu section will be about -. /#01'"2,&3,
