Spare time ... yes, you will have some. So, what will you do?
Sing in the choir. Learn a new instrument. Volunteer for a food bank. Start a political discussion group. Plan the spring dance. Cheer on the Stars at a soccer or basketball game. Or cheer on your teammates in an Intramural game. Work out. Hang out.
Those are a few of our suggestions. However, after a week on campus, we guarantee that you'll never need our advice again.
Student Life is also about taking care of yourself. We provide a wealth of support services from counseling and career services, to health and disability services. We run the bookstore, answer questions about housing, and more.
Let us know what we can do for you. And get involved! There is a powerful connection between how happy you are at college and what you do outside the classroom.
