What advice would I give to the next incoming class By Matthew Mejia

2023-10-30 17:56:14 UTC

I would tell them that it’s is okay to be homesick for the first couple weeks of school but there are places in the student center that can help them cope with their fears.

2023-10-30 17:56:49 UTC

There are no absolutes, classwork, friends, Heath, and fun are all important and you should moderate all of them

2023-10-30 17:57:01 UTC

This is about school and becoming an adult so don’t get upset over the little things and drama people start

residence services

2023-10-30 17:57:33 UTC

Advocate for yourself, and speak to and make connections with your professors. It will do nothing but aid you. Work to be secure with yourself and evaluate who is actually making your life better. Your time is precious.

What are some things I wish I knew before this semester started?

I wish that I knew is that you need to make sure to have a shower caddy and shower shoes plus a laundry bag these things will make life so much easier.

Which resources do you think are most helpful for new students and why?

2023-10-30 18:00:07 UTC

The student center is the best place for new students because anything you need to know they can point you in the right direction. It is my most used campus resources by far this semester.
