Getting settled into your new home is such an exciting time! With all these new responsibilities it’s important that you balance staying focused on your classes but still having fun during your free time if you really want to gain the most out of your college experience. Here are a few ways to make new friends and get to know your new neighborhood!

Join a Club: Joining a club is one of the best ways you can put yourself out there to make new friends, find other with similar interest and values to you, and begin to create that sense of community and friendship in your new home. Youruniversity should have a list of all the clubs and organizations that are available for you to explore!

Attending University Events: Your university staff understands that this transition can be difficult for most, and they want to be a helping hand in this adjustment.They do this by planning and organizing a variety of events to give you surplus opportunity to connect with others, whether it be academically, professionally,or socially! Visit your university’s academic and events calendar to find when these events will occur!

Local Events: Going to a new university or college isn’t just about school itself.Many of you may have moved across states to go to school or even from just another city. This can be intimidating, being in a new city, not knowing much there is to do or where to go. On the bright side of that, it’s a new adventure for you to embark on with your new friends or even just yourself, where you will likely discover some of your favorite places to be for the next few years of school! Events as such can easily be searched about with community pages and other local businesses and sites.

Resident Event right at home: We also host monthly events with free food, giveaways, and plentiful fun activities for you to take part in as a resident of our community.Follow us on social media for updates on when these events will occur!
