I'm going into my fith year of college and I'm finally moving out of my parents house on August 12th!! I'm going on exchange at Wageningen University & Research and I finally found housing there. At my home institution I looked for a room for 3 years and couldn't find anything. Luckily it was 'only' 75 minutes from my house to uni. I wish my home institution had university housing.
i hope u have an amazing first year, uo is soo special! i would definitely recommend going out of ur comfort zone and reaching out to people. going to sport events, joining clubs, even having conversations with people in ur dorm is the best ways to make friends. always be true to urself and kind to everyone.
