- You may think you packed too much, but really you probably didn’t pack enough. Says the girl who forgot half of her clothes back home and has half a closet left of space.
- Meeting people isn’t very hard at all. Everyone is in the same boat you are and they all just want to make friends like you!
- Freshman 15 is no joke, and I already feel it coming after one day. Shoutout to Rob’s at the University of Akron. Really appreciate you adding to my BMI. (Body Mass Index)
- Don’t go to a crazy party the first few days. It’ll get busted and it’s better to just stay low-key and test the waters for a few days.
- Enjoy your time with your family when they move you in! Once they leave, you will feel so lost.
- Go to as many events as you can! Within the first few nights I went to a sorority gathering, a soccer game, event fair, and a festival in downtown Akron. Through those events, I was able to make connections and friends.
- Join clubs early on! It’s easiest to make friends that way, especially friends who have similar interests as you.
- Exploring campus is a must! It’s nice to feel familiar with your new home.
- Meet people on your floor. Living in a dorm is like living in a huge apartment with all of your closest friends. It’s so much fun being able to walk down the hall and have a movie night with new friends, order pizza to eat while chatting, and getting to know new people everyday.
- Enjoy it! It all flies by and before you know it you will be starting classes!
