Making Connections in College

One of the most difficult parts of the college transition is establishing yourself in a completely new environment. Creating a home and finding a community for yourself is essential to succeeding in your studies and enjoying your time on campus. In this ebook, I share my advice for how to settle in and find not just acceptance, but comfort in this next phase of your life. I start by addressing physical connection, outlining ways in which you can get to know your surroundings and find places of refuge and escape as needed. Then, I venture into creating relationships with others, from bonding with friends over shared experiences to understanding how to access the guidance and mentorship of professors. I also touch on how to maintain those connections once they are formed, in order to get the most out of your college experience and take what you've learned into the next stage of your life.
