Teachers' College (as it was called then) was small enough that it was easy to know many other students and professors. The atmosphere was pretty relaxed. I did my student teaching in journalism so I was responsible for the student newspaper and yearbook. I didn't have a cooperating teacher but one day my adviser stopped by my classroom--and there were no students present! That made me a little nervous but I explained that they were all out on assignment and she assured me that was fine, as long as I knew where they all were.
