Jude stepped out of the rental car and smiled. He heard Lena and Stef shut their doors as they all looked at the freshman dorm where he will be living for his first year at Samwell University.

"Excited hon?" Stef says coming around the car and grabbing him in a hug.

"Yes!" Jude sighs in satisfaction. Deciding to attend Samwell was a big deal for Jude but he was very excited, even if it meant that he was far from his California home. Samwell was known as a very liberal and gay friendly university and after his struggles at Anchor Beach, he needed a fresh start. Though they had a strict anti-bullying policy, Anchor Beach also lacked anything resembling a gay student body. When Jude came out to his family junior year, he had not met another gay teen except Callie's friend Cole. He didn't know anyone else and his circle of friends was pretty small and mostly female. Maddie, Taylor, Chelsea, and Daria had all become his friends in 7th grade and they had made a tight circle that lasted till graduation.

Maddie had been the first person he ever told he was gay outside his family and she helped him come out to the rest of the girls. By his senior year he was out at school and hoped that maybe, just maybe, someone else would come out too but it didn't happen. He did have a crush on one boy on the baseball team, Jake Murphy, but it was more of a wish than reality as he was dating Tina Gunderson, the captain of the cheerleading team, for all of senior year as the power couple. The worst part was she was actually really nice and supported Jude when he came out so he couldn't even resent her.

But now, now he was starting over at Samwell and he was very excited to be somewhere no one knew him and he could be whoever he wanted. It took some serious convincing to get his moms to agree, but with his grades, his grandmother Sharon's college fund, and some scholarships...Jude could cover going to Samwell.

His moms helped him move his stuff in to his dorm room where he met his roommate Thomas, an econ major from Philadelphia, who was nice. They went out for supplies for his room and groceries and got the room set up. They went to their hotel to check in and Jude got to meet several of his fellow freshman before going out for dinner with his moms. They came over in the morning before their flight to walk around campus for a while, stopping at a cool coffee shop called "Annie's" before they hugged and left for the airport leaving Jude all on his own for the first time since Callie and Brandon had rescued him.

He was also excited because Brandon was at Julliard in New York and Mariana was at MIT in Boston, which made his moms and Mariana really happy.

Jude had liked Samwell's reputation, but what really excited him was the reputation of the Samwell Fine Arts program. As an Art major, Jude jumped into the program on his first day and had a blast. He loves his classes, his teachers, and his fellow art students. One of his TAs in art theory helped Jude connect with Professor Janis who had reviewed Jude's portfolio of paintings and was interested in mentoring Jude.

Jude had started painting not long after coming to live with Stef & Lena and the rest of the Adams-Fosters before being adopted and discovered he had real talent. He loved it and was really good at it. He had looked at several art schools, but something about them didn't sit well with him like Samwell did.

Jude spent the first half of the semester loving life. He had friends, a great faculty mentor, and a campus that constantly surprised him. The one drawback? No love life yet. One, because he wasn't out yet at school. It wasn't that he was in the closet but he just hadn't really talked about things. And two, he was a hopeless romantic who had watched way too many romance movies and might have read one too many Nicholas Sparks books. But he was busy and that's what matters most.
