Freshman Tips! 

  • Don’t take everything just to take it, you probably won’t use all of it and it will just take up space.
  • Bring comfy clothes, as opposed to clothes to dress up. Nobody expects you to dress up, everyone wants to be comfy!
  • Find a place on campus where you can get work done.
  • You might not be best friends with your roommate, and that’s okay. 

Sophomore Tips!

  • Don’t try to force relationships – you’ll find your people but it takes time!
  • Dining hall food doesn’t get better so try to get a dorm with a kitchen.
  • Don’t change yourself to make other people comfortable.
  • Bring a robe because making the trek back from showers is not fun in just a towel.
  • If you’re unsure about your major, that’s okay! College is the place to figure it out.

Hi! I spend most of my time writing, watching useless Tiktoks, and drinking Dunkin refreshers.
