The Adams center was my home for one year on campus and it served its purpose well. The building struck me with the realization that I was on my own for the fist time, and that I would need to adjust to this experience. I felt that the building on the outside reminded me of a hotel, one that I would be staying at for an extended period of time. Walking through the doors I realized that this was the first step to growing up, and the interior made me feel included. Ultimately the building to me meant a home away from home, and the process of growing as a person took place in Adams for a brief period of time.
