Large farnilies give perspective How many siblings do you have? Have you ever thought about how family size can alter the way a student adjusts to college life? For many students who come from large families, adjusting to college was easier. According to senior Katie Edwards, the more siblings you interact with during your life, the easier it is to adjust to large groups of people with diverse persohalities. "I feel that I am more adaptable to new situations with large groups ofdiverse people because I have had a big family where you just have to learn to get along with different types of people," Edwards said. Edwards is the oldest ofsix children in her family, with four brothers and one sister. Another advantage that students said they received from the experience with a large family was developing a willingness to share and having an unselfish attitude. Some students may enjoy the freedom of dorm life, but others, like Edwards, would rather live at home while they have the opportunity. "I only lived in the dormitory for one year, and I did enjoy the experience," Ed,-vards said. "But I have the opportunity to live at home because my family lives in Searcy, and I am glad I do because I feel that our years living at home are limited." - Meredith Garrity Senior Katie Edwards plays with her younger brother.
