- Attend Campus Events:Campus events organised by students incorporate various events like festival celebrations, dances, movie nights, board games and more. These events provide a fantastic opportunity to network and make new friends.
- Join Student Organisations:Colleges have numerous student-run bodies that range from academic, cultural and religious organisations to outdoor, climate and environment clubs. These not only help connect with like-minded people but also boost your resume and help learn management skills.
- Join Sororities or Fraternities: Joining a sorority or fraternity can provide immediate access to some of the busiest and most influential social networks on campus. These organisations provide a lifelong network of social support and professional connections with involvement in volunteering & philanthropy.
- Get an On-Campus Job:On-campus jobs and work study are an excellent way to meet new people, make new connections and learn more about various college and university services. These positions are often flexible when it comes to your school schedule and student life, and are a great way for students to make extra money.
