Hi, I’m a new first year and I’ve been struggling to adjust on campus and meet new people. Everything feels so confusing and I feel like I’m on my own because I am a bit on the more reserved end.

I feel like everyone else already has a group and that I’m left behind. I feel incredibly overwhelmed by all this new information being thrown at me and I am worried that I won’t do okay academically and socially at this school. Not to be annoying or anything, but it’s especially difficult because I am a black girl on campus so I feel isolated and invisible at times.

I was wondering if anyone else felt the same way on campus and how did you cope with everything? I would love advice on what to do. I’ve tried joining clubs and going to social events, talking to teachers, etc but it’s not working out well for me. I’ve been stepping out my comfort zone recently and any advice would be helpful.

Where can I park as a visitor / commuter? I don’t know anything about this campus and I’ve alr paid $50 in tickets the past 2 days no one will tell me anything🤣

Hey I’ve lost a black leather wallet. I’ve taken the ooct bus and have been to newing college area for soccer and volleyball . It has my bing id and other id. Please if someone finds it let me know. Reward 20 dollars thank you.

i live in newing and i’m unsure if i’ll get caught, like will the smoke detector go off if i hit my vapes?

someone also told me that there are hidden smoke detectors in the dorms.

help. i’m scared

I called maximo services (the people who do the bed lofting and stuff) to ask if they could come and raise our beds so the desks can fit underneath, and they said bing doesnt do it that high because its unsafe, if any of yall got them to do it how?? Lmk pls 🤞

Hi my interests are computers, videogames and the internet. Pretty self explanatory post title. Have a good day bye

We moved our daughter in this weekend. I don’t know about other buildings at CIW, but at least Oneida was beautiful! I got worried reading some old posts that CIW is old and dingy etc. that their new Reno was only just a new coat of paint, so I had low expectations. Wow, I was actually impressed! They got all new furniture. We heard everything online and in person saying to get a mattress pad but the new Mattress is quite plush and thick and she told me that she’s going to remove the mattress pad because it’s sinking her in a bit too much. Welp, that was a hundred bucks I didn’t need to spend. The bathroom was completely brand new, and even had some design considerations, not just standard “school” aesthetics. Tiles modern decorative aesthetics, bathroom was so spacious and nice. Nothing too fancy, but certainly at least a new holiday Inn- level. I thought the lobby was also nice with 2 elevators. She has an amazing view with big, almost wall to wall window (though wall to wall is a short distance lol)

Just commenting here for anyone in the future curious of freshman building at CIW. I’ve toured several east coast public and private schools and this is one of the top on my list. Highly recommend!

Im a freshman looking to go out before classes start anyone know where I can go? thx

I see there are a few frats associated with BU. What is the best for an SOM student? One where the other members of the fraternity really try to assist you with your resume, interviews, career prep, and internships? Or it that not going to happen and the fraternity is just a bunch of guys who party together? Also, does it really matter? Looking for actual experiences. TIA
