Tips To Survive Freshman Year:
10.GET INVOLVED ON CAMPUS.
A big problem for a lot of new students is a com- bination of homesickness and a feeling of not quite belonging. Consider joining a select group— stu- dent organizations, clubs, sororities or fraternities, or sports teams. You’ll make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your school.
