OK, let me start by saying that now that I am older and have kids, church at 9am is just fine. At 9am, I have already been wide awake for hours. But when you're a freshman in college and living away from home for the first time? Who thought that one up? Leave the early morning sessions for the off-campus older crowd and let the youngins' sleep, I say!
So....I didn't make it to church that often my first year. And to be honest, not much my 2nd or 3rd years either. The other issue was the fact that holding Sacrament meeting in the same room used by your science lecture class is a little weird. Kind of hard to geto the spirit of things with the table of elements poster on the wall staring you down, reminding you of your test the following day.
But at least we had the coolest bishop, Bishop Earle Larsen, who also managed the Cannon Center operations (place of food). You could always talk to Bishop Larsen -- good man with a great sense of humor.
The other thing I didn't like about church at school was the fact that there were no families, no babies crying during sacrament, no diversity of age. Just the same faces you saw every day in the dorms, with a few off-campus adults thrown in to run things. I just couldn't get into the swing of things.
