Welcome to Permies, Noah,
I know you`ll find lots of interest here, and people willing to help if you need it. Good luck with your course, University is a fun place to be, but don`t forget to study too!
Even if you only have a room yourself, you may still be able to grow herbs and salads in pots, or maybe there is a
gardening club at your university.
Experience counts as well as book learning.
