Just don’t be afraid to make friends! Everyone I’ve met has been super friendly, and so finding similarities with classmates, fellow club members, or even strangers in line at the dining hall is super easy. It’s also different than high school because you meet a much broader variety of people, and so you expand your worldview along the way.”
