This week The Freshmen Series crew talked about ‘first week’ issues such as making friends, joining clubs and getting to know your professors.

Some important things to take note of when it comes to staying safe on campus.

Life on campus
Students who live on campus need to respect their roommate’s time and be responsible. Be organized and try to make the room ‘livable.’ Try to keep in close contact with your resident advisers as well. They will advise certain aspects of living on campus, plus they are students too.
Dining
There are plenty of eating locations on campus. Some of the more popular ones that accept meal plans are the Student Center South, campus cafeterias and the Satellite (which reopens October). You can also get food from some clubs that you participate in, other clubs will also sell food to for fundraising, so look out for that. It also does not hurt to ask family for some home-cooked food to take with you.
Unfortunately, last night’s podcast had difficulties recording, so we are going solo this week. Next week I intend to post the recorded show for the following episodes.
If you guys want to keep up with the show, you can follow & tweet us @FreshmenSeries and if you want to share your experiences, email us at [email protected]. All emails will be confidential and not be shared with anybody. With your permission, I will tell your story on the air and all your information will remain as anonymous.
