TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 From the quad and the dorms to the academic buildings, students swarmed Troy’s campus on Wednesday as they hustled to start their first classes of the semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some new faces on campus are excited to get this semester underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The first day of classes has been great,” said freshman Gabby Dean. “I really like all my professors so far. I am excited to see how the semester goes. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The first day has been good,” said freshman Kiavani Palmer. “Everybody that I have met so far is very nice and friendly. Then, all the professors, I really like them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many returning students, they are ready and happy to see their friends they haven’t seen in the last three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I miss them so much,” said sophomore Sumira Duncan. “I have been bored without them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Awesome,” said sophomore Valincya Davis I’ve been having fun ever since I got here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what are most students excited about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Basketball and volleyball games because they won a lot of the basketball games [last season],” said sophomore Saradha Hudspeth. “I want to be a part of that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Definitely football games,” Duncan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With one student counting down the days for two specific matchups for the Men of Troy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Alabama State game and South [Alabama], I am very excited,” Davis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, for one student, the most exciting thing for him this school year isn’t football games, but something all the way in May<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Graduating and finally being done,” said grad student Clark Smith. “Other than that, for now I’m studying for the CPA exam and passing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be it a graduate student going for their master\u2019s or a first-time Trojan, many Troy students seem ready and ecstatic to get this school year underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the first day of classes, come different events and activities held on campus to welcome students back. We’ll have coverage of these events in the coming week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
