When I first came to Southern Arkansas University (SAU), everything was new for me. I took a tour around all the buildings, went to every corner of the university, tried to be friendly to everyone, but still I felt like an alien in this secluded, remote place. Everything looked good enough for me to stay here for next four years of my life, and it still does. After three months at SAU, if I were given chance to be the president of SAU and do whatever I want to do to, I would make few changes.
I would change the cafeteria menu. Instead of serving same food every day I would serve different varieties which can appeal to everyone ranging from vegetarians to international gourmands. It is getting really cold here, so, I would open the cafeteria even late at night so that students can have a sip of hot coffee while working on their assignments. I hate the smell of the farm when I step out of my dorm in fresh mood; I would do something to fix the problem. There is not any transportation service from the university to different places in Magnolia. Being an International freshman I wish to see different places; if I were president I would provide transportation facilities to the students.
I have found that a lot of students are not in open or friendly terms with their teachers. I would make student-teacher lounges and organize various events so that both of them get chance to know each other better. This will help to upgrade the academic level as, personally, I do better in classes of the teachers I like. I live on-campus, so I do wish for some improvements; most of the computers in dorm do not function well, vending machines are in bad shape, and it is really cold without a heater. I love fresh wind blowing through window, so, I would change out the windows of the buildings.
I would open library for 24 hours a day, so that students can get access to library materials whenever they want. I love reading fiction, but the library does not have a good collection of new volumes. Therefore, I would make a new larger section of recently published novels. I still am not able to figure out much about my major, therefore, I would assign advisors to the students in their first semester which will help them to be more serious about their studies
After making these minor changes, there would not be much to be done. SAU already has a good learning environment and many extra activities. These changes will help to enhance the living experience of students on campus, while unloading minor restrictions present in their daily schedule.
