Peter clutched his few belongings to his chest, staring out the bus window as it zoomed through impossibly crowded streets. Despite his slight unease Peter was excited. No, Peter was ecstatic.

This is what he'd always wanted! Getting away from his small town in the middle of nowhere. The chance to get a world class education but more importantly BE in the biggest city in the world. Mind you he was scared. He had heard fearful tales of theft, violence....and worse. And he already felt small. Amidst the thronging masses and towering buildings he knew he had become a speck on the back of this writhing beast named Manhattan.

But still, ADVENTURE!

He had preregsitered for all his classes, and handled all the dorm paperwork and student life documents beforehand so all that was left was to find and settle into his dorm. Unfortunately he had not been able to get in touch with his dorm mate prior to arriving. While he didn't like that, he told himself it would be a "great surprise".

Struggling with his suitcases he hopped off the bus and stared up at the skyscraper his dorm was housed in. Nodding to himself he went inside to find his dorm.
