As a result from the articles students new to Dobie all have made some new and good friends, have a hard time knowing where everything is, and are pretty nervous being a “new kid”.

But they all seemed to like the school or at a minimum think It wasn’t that bad of a school compared to their old school. Their were somethings that were worse at this school than their last school, but somethings that were also better. New kids here seem okay with the school and just have a hard time navigating thru the school.
