Incoming first year, any advice?

I’ll be a first year this fall, majoring in a BSW and I’m pretty nervous about it lol.

  1. Any advice for my schedule? I tried picking classes I was interested in but also could help me with my major. First slide is fall term, second slide is winter term. If anyone shares a class with me, feel free to dm me!

  2. I’d also like to know how orientation is. I signed up for speed friending so it would be great to know how that one works. Any advice on making new friends and connections? I love meeting new people but I can be quite shy and awkward when first meeting me, so any advice on how to overcome that would be great too.

  3. Any clubs I should join? I’ve looked at a few that I’m interested in but would like to get some other recommendations.

Any other advice would also be appreciated!

I’ve read some advice on here before and have older peers who’ve given me advice as well but I’m just posting this here for last minute thoughts, opinions, and reassurance 🥹

Thanks in advance!

Is it okay if I take a course completely unrelated to my major?

Sorry if this might sound stupid. So I got accepted into social work and I only need to take 1 required social work class whilst my other courses will be electives. I looked on their website and it says they recommend taking electives in relations to social work such as english, ethics, psychology, etc etc… Although I plan on going with the recommended, I was just wondering if it’d be fine if I could take an elective that isnt in the elective list just because its pure interest of mine. Will it affect my studies? If anyone also has some elective recommendations in regard to social work, that’d be great as well. Thanks in advance!
