Christmas is all about sharing and helping others. So with that in mind we want to help out all of the new students who will be joining the SLU Community next semester.

Transferring to a new school mid semester is always hard so we’re going to try to make the adjustment a little easier for them by asking you to give them one piece of advice that you think every student should know before coming here.

This could be something that you’ve  invented or discovered since you’ve been here or just something that you wish someone had told you before you came. No piece of advice is too big or too small.

Help a freshman out today. Just leave your advice in the comments section below!

In the spirit of things and being a transfer myself, I’ll start.

My advice for any new freshmen or transfers (other than reading SLU Connection every day) would be to join any club that even remotely resembles something that you’re interested in. It’s a great way to meet people who share your interests. Don’t worry about not being good enough, everyone has to start somewhere. When you find something you like, give it your best. Nothing upsets people more than undedicated club members. If you don’t like it, don’t be afraid to quit and find something else. Just be upfront about it. Your fellow members will appreciate the honesty!
