"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." ~Neale Donald Walsch~
1 Be yourself
3 Make an effort and be open to meet new
Do not pretend to be someone you’re not, but challenge yourself and try new things. Get out of your comfort zone. The EC campus is small but there are many different student groups. Try one out and see how it fits. If you don’t “click” with the people. Keep looking around.

2 Get Involved Early and Stay Involved
4 Stay connected online and in person
throughout the year
Spend time keeping up with friends through social networking, but make sure you put your smart phone away and have conversations face to face. Go for an ice-cream, a walk around Fenway, or check out the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
Attend activities at the beginning of the year. Go to the Involvement Fair, athletic events and join a club or organization.
Most students enter college thinking friends will come to them. College is not like high school. You need to make an effort, talk to new people and join in conversations. Try not to stereotype people before you get to know them.
