Blog: A behind-the-scenes perspective

“This will be easy,” I thought. “Students in the dorms will love being on camera.”

My thoughts turned out to be completely wrong when I went out to interview students about the signs on Campus Village windows.

Baby-faced freshmen gave every excuse not to be filmed:

“I’m late.”
“I have something to do.”

Or they just didn’t say anything and walked right on by, feigning tardiness.

I bagged a couple elusive interviews in between slammed doors and weak excuses. I guess freshmen are like people everywhere -- some like to be filmed, while others abhor the idea.

It just seemed like all the camera-shy people were living in the same place.
