Homecoming 2011

As a freshman I know that I personally had A LOT of high expectations as far as the events and activities that surrounded homecoming. After being told endlessly by other students, family friends, and older alum about the "great HU homecoming" I was slightly disappointed. I did have my share of fun however nothing really lived up to its hype. It may be because I had a lot of preconceived notions, or because I've been told about the grandeur of homecoming since I told people I was applying for school.

To start most of the ticket prices were out of my budgeted range. Fifty dollars for a step show plus transportation there seemed unrealistic. One because I am a (relatively) broke college student, and two because I could just wait for my classmates to buy the tickets and then resale them, which is what I did in most cases. Another reason homecoming wasn't as spectacular as expected was the celebrities. Yes they were great however they weren't the ones I grew up with nor were they in the limelight currently with the exception of two or three. Once I got passed that and realized that homecoming is what you make of it I enjoyed myself. Homecoming left a lot to be desired but all in all I wouldn't say that the prestige team failed (they just need a little improvement).
