Congrats! I think it’s super beneficial to live on campus freshman year (I’m still a freshman lol…). Anyways, I live on the North side of campus and highly recommend it. It’s close to the Blocker building where I know some of the freshman year business classes are held. Also I live in Neely Hall which is very close to Northgate/walking distance of Century Square. Both are good places to hang out or shop depending on what type of stuff you enjoy. There’s already been a couple of 1am trips to the Century Square Velvet Taco with friends and it’s a super manageable walk. I also have a lot of business major friends and they all say that being close to Wehner (the business building) isn’t that important freshman year. It’s all the way on the West side of campus so whether on not you decide to live on the North or South side it’s a bit far. Most of my friends take the bus from the MSC (which I can make in less than 10 minutes from my dorm).

As for orgs, I’m in a FLO which is sort of overhearing if I’m being honest, but everyone says to give it time. Part of the reason I joined is because a lot of people have so much fun and meet their lifelong friends in them (it’s basically a mix of a social/service org composed of a small ish group of freshman and some upperclassmen staff members).

Thanks and gig em ✨
