homecoming

     Being in a new culture allows you to experience a variety of new things. Homecoming is one of the new experiences that I got to see in this university.

I heard allot about homecoming week without knowing what it means, and what is so special about it. I could see the intensive preparations that were taking place. And out curiosity, I asked about his mysterious event that was about to take place. At first, I have been told that homecoming is a welcoming event for graduate students who come back to their university.

  But from what I experienced, homecoming far more than that. Homecoming is one of the biggest annual celebrations of the year in the university. It is an event for all the students and the people in the community too. It is an event of allot of amazing and entertaining activities.

The most important part of it is the American football. Allot of students participated in the preparations of this important part of homecoming. Because everyone - students and residents- were looking forward to it. The marching band was the most amazing part. All the people were excited despite the unfortunate cold weather that day, which reflects the big love for this game.

   The parade was an interesting part of homecoming too. Having the band marching along water street , with people cheering one both sides of the street , was amazing.

   Another interesting fact that I discovered about homecoming weekend is that it is considered as a drinking weekend by many students. Students tend to drink far more than they normally do. They drink throughout the weekends without stopping.  That seems weird.

   In general I liked the cooperative and the dedicative work of the students to make that event look the way it looked. I also liked the great involvement of both the students and the residence in attending the different activates with full enthusiasm. It was  really a great event  to have fun with other  people.
